[ncl-talk] how to remove space between plots

[Adam Phillips]

Hi Laura,
NCL will allocate the space for each panel based on the size of the 1st
panel. If you do not want that to happen you can tell NCL to allocate the
space for all panels based on a different panel by setting
gsnPanelScalePlotIndex.  See example #24 here:
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/panel.shtml#ex24

In your case your 1st panel does have the Y-axis titles and labels turned
on, making that (and your 4th and 7th panels) bigger than the remaining
ones. Setting gsnPanelScalePlotIndex = 2 should fix the issue.

gsnPanelYWhiteSpacePercent can be used to adjust the spacing between the
rows. You might also want to set res at tiMainOn = False so as to not
preallocate space for the main title. Keep in mind that
gsnPanelXWhiteSpacePercent and gsnPanelYWhiteSpacePercent are both set to
1.0 as the defaults.

Hope that helps!
Adam
