[ncl-talk] Changing font height

[Mary Haley]

Hi Barry,

This is a good question. I had to dig around in WRFUserARW.ncl to look for
the answer.

I think setting "FontHeightF" should do it. Try a value like 0.01, and then
increase or decrease it by small amounts as necessary. This apparently is
an unadvertised resource and I'm not positive it will work.

If you find that you are wanting to customize your WRF plots quite a bit,
then you may want to consider using gsn_csm_xxx functions to do the
plotting instead of wrf_xxxx.

The wrf_xxxx functions are really meant to be used "as-is" to quickly
produce plots that can fit on an 8-1/2" x 11" paper.

To see some examples of plotting WRF data with gsn_csm_xxx functions, see:
