[ncl-talk] Making Space when using textid

[Rick Brownrigg]

Hi Barry,

without seeing more context of your script, I'm not sure if there's a
better way to do what you want. But you could certainly prepend a space to
the cities; supposing the names are in an array like:

cities = (/ "acbd", "efgh", "ijkl"/)
print(cities)

...then...

labels = " " + cities
print(labels)

Hope that helps,
Rick
