[ncl-talk] Changing title font size of panel plot

Wed Oct 31 13:06:00 MDT 2018

Hi Barry/Toni,
As Toni's issue has to do with setting the font size of a panel title, I
think what he needs to do is set set gsnPanelMainFontHeightF
<http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Graphics/Resources/gsn.shtml#gsnPanelMainFontHeightF>
or
set txFontHeightF
<http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Graphics/Resources/tx.shtml#txFontHeightF>
(older
resource that still works for this) in his panel resource list.  Note that
there are a few other gsnPanelMainFont* resources that also can be used to
modify the panel title.
