[ncl-talk] how to reduce white space

[Mary Haley]

I'll add another suggestion:

You are creating two separate panel plots.  Each one is being centered in
its own space, which causes the gap between the two sets.

I don't think there's a way to say "right justify the left plots and left
justify the right plots", but you can scootch the plots over by also
setting the left side of the left plots, and the right side of the right
plots, giving them a smaller area to render to.

For example:

resL                  = True

resL at gsnMaximize      = True
resL at gsnDraw          = True
resL at gsnFrame         = False
*resL at gsnPanelLeft     = 0.1*
resL at gsnPanelRight    = 0.5
resL at gsnPaperOrientation = "portrait"

resR                  = True
resR at gsnMaximize      = True
resR at gsnDraw          = True
resR at gsnFrame         = False
resR at gsnPanelLeft     = 0.5
*resR at gsnPanelRight    = 0.9*
resR at gsnPaperOrientation = "portrait"
