[ncl-talk] Giant Panel plot

[Buzan, Jonathan Robert]

Hi Adam,

Thanks!  This is all great information. I didn’t realize that the first panel was so crucial, and I’ll keep that in mind as I go through each of these links.

Cheers,
-Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,
If you have not already I would suggest you take a look at the Panel applications page here:
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/panel.shtml
That page runs through the various ways to modify panel plots and is quite helpful. I refer to it often.

By default NCL will look at the size of the first plot, and apply that plot spacing to every other paneled plot. Your first plot is missing, so I'm not sure if in this case NCL switches to looking at the 2nd plot for a reference sizing, but I'd try setting gsnPanelScalePlotIndex = 2.
See example 24 here: https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/panel.shtml#ex24

You can set gsnPanelYWhiteSpacePercent = 3.0 as a first try to increase the vertical spacing between the rows of plots as is shown in example 6 here:
https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/panel.shtml#ex6

Finally, you can overrule all set placements of the panels by using the information returned from gsnPanelDebug and set gsnPanelXF/YF as is shown here:
https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/panel.shtml#ex19

Hope that helps!

Hi NCL-Talk,

I am attempting to make a panel plot with many panels.
However, I’m having troubles with labels, etc. For example, my titles are interfering with my contours. If I turn off the color bar, the titles are placed into the panel above them, and like the picture below, the top row’s titles are cut off.

I’m not sure exactly how to fix this. Perhaps there’s some insight?

Cheers,
-Jonathan
