[ncl-talk] Issue with plotting and maximizing space in multi-panel plot on same workstation

[Adam Phillips]

Hi Alan,
I have 2 suggestions:
1) Only make one gsn_panel call if you can. By making multiple gsn_panel
calls and by setting gsnPanelTop/Bottom you are semi-negating setting
gsnMaximize = True. You will have to concatenate your gsnPanelFigureStrings
calls and merge your graphic arrays. The latter can be accomplished in 1 of
two ways:
gsn_panel(wks,(/plot_SNOWFALL_avg(0),plot_SNOWFALL_avg(1),../),
or
plot = new(12,graphic)
plot(:2) = plot_SNOWFALL_avg
plot(3:5) = plot_SNOWC_avg
etc
gsn_panel(wks,plot,(/4,3/),resP)

2)Do not set gsnPanelLeft and gsnPanelRight unless you absolutely have to
due to conflicts with gsnMaximize.

Give those two suggestions a shot and let ncl-talk know if you are still
having an issue.
Adam
