[ncl-talk] Postscript output sizing

[Alison Bridger]

Hi all, This is a general question...

My output format of choice is postscript (ps). I am doing a study and have
written a handful of codes, and each one produces a plot of a different
size and shape! I am looking for some general guidelines on how to fix size
and shape - something along the lines of xmin/xmax/ymin/ymax - all relative
to an 11x8.5 sheet of paper in either landscape or portrait mode.

I had a quick look and saw something scary about - "it depends on your
output mode and which ncl plotting routine you use"!!! Does not sound
general!

FTR, I am reading a WRF output file, extracting and plotting via commands
like
wrf_contour, wrf_map_overlays, wrf_overlays

I've attached a play code as an example: the result comes out in a
rectangle! I was expecting a square...I'm plotting an array ("grad") which
is 71x41 ... that's probably why?

Thanks for pointing me in the right general direction!

Alison
