[ncl-talk] gsn_panel plot functions

[Adam Phillips]

Hi Mauro,
Thank you for supplying an easy to run version of your script; that always
makes it easier to see what is going on.
The typical workflow for workstations/panel plotting is:
1 - Open the workstation.  (wks = gsn_open_wks("ps","test")
2 - Create a graphic object plot array to hold the plots.   (plot =
new(15,graphic))
3 - Fill in the array created in 2 and associate it with the workstation
opened in 1.   plot(cntr) = gsn_csm_xy(wks,.....) )
4 - Call gsn_panel, specifying the workstation opened in 1) and the
plotting array created and filled in 2 and 3.
 (gsn_panel(wks,plot,(/5,3/),pancreas)

Your script contains numerous workstations (both x11 and png), you are
copying/moving plots around after their creation, and you are calling
gsn_panel while specifying a workstation different than that specified for
the individual plots.  While you can do some of this, it makes it rather
confusing to keep track of everything.  If you want to stick with the
structure of this script, I would not use x11 workstations. Use .ps or .png
instead, and only use 1 workstation if possible to keep things cleaner. I
think your main issue is how you are handling the workstations. It will
help to simplify that by shifting to a single workstation.  On a more minor
note, set gsnMaximize to False in the individual resource lists. When
paneling only set this resource to True in the panel resource list.

Hope that at least gets you going in the right direction!
Best,
Adam
