[ncl-talk] reducing margins panelplots

[Noelia otero]

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestions. However, I am not seeing much difference. I
mean, by using mpShapeMode = "FreeAspect" for each plot, they look quite
similar.. I was wondering how to reduce the right and left
margins..increasing also the plots.
The thing is that I wanted to keep gsn_panel(wks, panelP(:,k), (/7,2/),
pres), since I am trying to compare models (the same model in each row, at
different period of time).

Many thanks again,

cheers,

 Noelia
