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

[Alan Rhoades]

Hi Adam,

I went with your first suggestion (which involved less modification of my
ncl script) and commented out the gsnPanelRight (and *Left) settings I had
and the plot sizing/spacing looks much better.  I'll make sure to just do
one gsn_panel call in all my scripts from now on.

Thanks again!
