[ncl-talk] Legend in panel plot

Mon Aug 22 10:52:14 MDT 2016

Sorry about that.  For some reason gsn_panel is not recognizing the
lbLabelAlignment setting.

You will need to fix this by setting the lbLabelAlignment and
lbLabelStrings resources yourself when you call gsn_panel. You won't need
to set them when you create the individual plots.

I've attached an example script that uses dummy data.

I've also file a bug report.  This is timely, because we may overhaul the
way we do labelbars for panel plots in the next release of NCL.

Thanks,

--Mary
