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

Wed Oct 31 21:20:32 MDT 2018

Hi:

If it is not too much trouble, can you send a picture of the text title you
were trying to plot?

It's good to remember this.

By the way, from what I gather: you were using a WRF function, but not
plotting it with WRF resources, so WRFUserARW.ncl did not come into play.
