[ncl-talk] Change LabelBar size in the pres-height plot

[Dong, Bo]

Hi Mary,


I did the same resources setting as that in your script, but it still doesn't work. I did both x11 window and png, but neither one changes the colorbar. My code are as following (also attached as a script). It's running on NCL6.1.2.  So confused why it doesn't do the job...

f  = addfile("pres_height_test_data.nc","r")
mv = f->mv
rcdivv = f->rcdivv
rcwv = f->rcwv
;-------------------------------------------------------------
wks   = gsn_open_wks("x11","labelbartest")

res = True
res at cnLineLabelsOn          = False
res at cnInfoLabelOn           = False
res at cnFillOn             = True
res at cnFillPalette           = "BlAqGrYeOrRevi200"
res at vcRefAnnoOrthogonalPosF  = -0.04          ; move reference vec up
res at vcRefMagnitudeF           = 0.2           ; define vector ref mag
res at vcRefLengthF              = 0.05          ; define length of vec ref
res at pmLabelBarWidthF      = 0.8               ; default is shorter
res at pmLabelBarHeightF     = 0.4               ; default is taller
res at pmLabelBarOrthogonalPosF = -0.05          ; move color label bar up

plot  = gsn_csm_pres_hgt_vector(wks,mv(0,:,:),rcdivv(0,:,:),rcwv(0,:,:),res)


thanks,
Bo

Bo,

I suggest not setting these two resources:

res at lbAutoManage         = False
res at pmLabelBarDisplayMode = "Always"

The other resources you have should be fine, but you are making the values rather large. The labelbar is likely to fill up most of your page.

See the attached script and image. I took an existing example from the streamlines page, and made the labelbar extra thick using the pm*Width/Height resources.

Dear NCL users,


I was trying to adjust the width and height of the labelbar associated with a gsn_csm_pres_hgt_vector plot. The resources I set include:

res at lbAutoManage         = False
res at pmLabelBarDisplayMode = "Always"
res at pmLabelBarWidthF      = 0.6
res at pmLabelBarHeightF     = 0.7

However, it doesn't change anything to the labelbar. For gsn_csm_contour_map it works, but not for the gsn_csm_pres_hgt_vector plot

Does anyone know how to set the resources to make it work?


Many thanks,

Bo
