[ncl-talk] issue with resP at gsnMaximize in the Panel plots and 2nd label bar

Wed Aug 26 11:14:32 MDT 2020

fatal:syntax error: line 547 in file clim.div.wnd.w.v1.ncl before or near \n 
drawNDCGrid(wks)
----------------^

fatal:syntax error: possibly an undefined procedure
fatal:Syntax Error in block, block not executed
fatal:error at line 568 in file clim.div.wnd.w.v1.ncl

I have NCL version 6.2.1 so this error is coming. 

As suggested, I will switch off the resources and try 

thanks

Geeta.

 Hi Geeta,One last item to change would be to set resQ at lbLabelBarOn = False. If after making all of those changes, you do not see an improvement, I recommend you alter the end of your script to look like this: resP         =  True
resP at gsnFrame = False
resP at gsnMaximize        = True                ; maximize plots
resP at gsnPanelLabelBar   =  True
resP at lbOrientation   =  "Vertical"
gsn_panel(wks,PLOT,(/4,1/),resP)
drawNDCGrid(wks)frame(wks)
If the resulting image extends most of the way to the boundaries of the gray grid, then your image is maximized in NCL's workspace.
If the resulting image does not extend all the way to the edges, I strongly suggest you clean up your resource lists, and start turning off resources (and removing overlays) one by one to see if you can see what is causing the plots to not fill the space. That is how I debug plotting issues that are not apparent. I would start with not doing any overlays and see if the paneled plots are the same sizes. Hope that helps!Adam

thanks Mr Brownrigg.

Sorry for the typo. I did not notice it. The warning message has gone but plot size is the same.

 Hi,

The resource errors are due to a typo -- it should be tiMainOn.

I'm not sure about the sizing.

Thanks Mr Phillips.

I did as you had told me to.

1. commented the draw and frame lines and added those Resources to the panel plots.  and  rescommon at tiMain            = False

but got warning message. warning:tiMain is not a valid resource in wind_contour at this time

warning:tiMain is not a valid resource in map at this time

warning:tiMain is not a valid resource in wind_vector at this time

warning:tiMain is not a valid resource in wind_vector at this time

warning:tiMain is not a valid resource in wind_vector at this time

warning:tiMain is not a valid resource in wind_contour at this time

warning:tiMain is not a valid resource in wind_contour at this time

warning:tiMain is not a valid resource in wind_contour at this time

warning:tiMain is not a valid resource in wind_contour at this time

warning:tiMain is not a valid resource in map at this time

2. No of Plots are now =4.

But the size of plot remains the same. These are overlay plots which I am panelling.

 PLOT            =     new(4,graphic)

                             gsn_panel(wks,PLOT,(/4,1/),resP)

thanks once again. I am attaching the figure so obtained.

Geeta.

 Hi Geeta,It looks like you are drawing each individual plot and then advancing the frame before your call gsn_panel:draw(PLOT(3))

frame(wks)

remove all of the draw(PLOT  lines and the frame(wks) lines. I am surprised you are not getting an error message when you are doing this as you are trying to draw the same plot twice.

Assuming you corrected the definition of PLOT to be of size 4, there are a few other steps you can take to try to minimize the space between the panels (and therefore increase the size of each panel).Try setting these:

rescommon at tiMainOn = False   ; turn off main title; do not save space for main titleresP at gsnPanelYWhiteSpacePercent = 0.0   ; set the amount of Y-axis space between the panels equal to 0.

Hope that helps!Adam

Thank you Mr Phillips.

I will try with label bar resources.

I also wanted know why the plots are so small. when I have set resP at gsnMaximize        = True                ; maximize plots in the panel plot resources.

what I should do to make them cover the entire page.

Geeta.

 Hi Geeta,1 - You are getting the error message because PLOT was defined like this:PLOT            =     new(5,graphic)

but then  4 plots were specified in your call to gsn_panel:gsn_panel(wks,PLOT,(/4,1/),resP)

Set PLOT = new(4,graphic) and the error will disappear.

2 - If you set cnFillOn = False, NCL will not draw a labelbar even if you set lbLabelBarOn = True. You will need to use gsn_labelbar_ndc or gsn_create_labelbar. I prefer gsn_labelbar_ndc unless you need to attach a labelbar to a plot. See the examples at the bottom of the gsn_labelbar_ndc documentation page, specifically the first example, for how to use this procedure.

3 - There are numerous ways to alter the labelbar, most of which are shown in the labelbar applications page here: http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/labelbar.shtml

Hope that helps!Adam

Hi

I am making panel plots with 4 rows and 1 column.

I have set following resources in the PANEL plots

      resP        =  True

      resP at gsnMaximize        = True                ; maximize plots

      resP at gsnPanelLabelBar  =  True

      resP at lbOrientation  =  "Vertical"

So 1st problem is panel plots are very small. this is the error coming.  I have defined 4 rows and 1 columns and the no pf PLOTS=4

then why this warning message is coming

(0) Warning: gsn_panel: you have more plots than you have panels.

(0) Only 4 plots will be drawn.

 2.  The second label bar wrt the Q contour is not shown.

3. How can I adjust the two label bars. (one for filled contours and other for the line)

kindly suggest.
