[ncl-talk] sub-titles in panel plots

[Mary Haley]

Hi Laura,

I can't quite envision what you are describing, with the plots being moved
to the right and the titles on the left. It would help if I could see an
image.

However, perhaps what you want is to use gsnPanelFigureStrings.  This will
add little figure strings to each panel plot, *inside* the plot.

Please see example panel_5.ncl at:

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/panel.shtml#ex5

Note that this is a special gsn_panel resource, so you want to set it when
you set the resources for gsn_panel.

Let me know if this is not what you want.

Also, if you like, you can send me the image and your script offline so I
can see why your original method is not working.

--Mary
