Perhaps, you could copy and modify:
*%> cp* $NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/wrf/WRFUserARW.ncl
*Lara.WRFUserARW.ncl *
Then:
load "./*Lara.WRFUserARW.nc <http://Lara.WRFUserARW.nc>" *
*++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++*
Some other information.
I think WRF people wrote many of the functions contained within
*WRFUserARW.ncl*. I think they are more knowledgeable than ncl-talk. A link
to the WRF user forum is appended.
=========================================================
%> less $NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/wrf/*WRFUserARW.ncl*
I think the 'mini' titles you want are 'Valid' and then two variable names.
Search for: Valid
=================================================
undef("set_title_resources")
function set_title_resources (data[*][*]:numeric, res:logical)
[SNIP]
=================================================
undef("_SetMainTitle")
procedure _SetMainTitle(nc_file:file,wks[1]:graphic,cn[1]:graphic,opts)
; This procedure checks the input data for certain attributes, and
; based on those, sets MainTitle, InitTime and ValidTime
;
; Attributes recognized by this procedure:
; MainTitle (main title - top left)
; (with Init time top right)
; TimeLabel (valid time - right under init time)
; NoHeaderFooter (switch all headers and footers off -
mainly for panels)
;
; If the "NoHeaderFooter" attribute exists and is set True, then
; don't create any titles.
[SNIP]
*txt2* = *create*
<https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Manuals/Ref_Manual/NclStatements.shtml#Create>
"ValidTime" textItemClass wks
"txString" : ValidTime
"txFontHeightF" : font_height ; <=========
end create
anno = NhlAddAnnotation(cn,*txt2*)
setvalues anno
"amZone" : 3
"amSide" : "Top"
"amJust" : opts at TimePos
"amParallelPosF" : opts at TimePosF
"amOrthogonalPosF" : MTOPosF
"amResizeNotify" : False
end setvalues
end if
