[ncl-talk] Problem with labelbar on maximized single plot

[Adam Phillips]

Hi Roberto,
Sometimes NCL accidentally pushes the labelbar off of the frame. It seems
to happen more often when gsnMaximize is set to true. You can try the
following:
1 - set gsnMaximize to False
2 - set gsnMaximize to False, and set vpWidthF = 0.9, vpHeightF = 0.9, vpYF
= 0.95 and vpXF = 0.1. If you haven't used these resources before, they set
the location on the frame to draw the plot. Note that unless otherwise
indicated by the mpShapeMode resource being set to "FreeAspect", NCL will
not distort the map projection to fit the vp resource settings.  You will
likely have to play somewhat with the vp resource settings above to get
what you want. If you have not used those resources before more information
can be found here:  http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/viewport.shtml

If that advice does not solve the problem please respond to ncl-talk and
include an image.
Adam
