[ncl-talk] Question regarding plot going beyond the plot page

Tue Feb 20 11:14:59 MST 2024

Hi Barry,

Sure, I had to add these four settings and then also turn gsnMaximize to
False.

  res at vpXF                     = 0.02
  res at vpYF                     = 0.98
  res at vpWidthF              = 0.90
  res at vpHeightF             = 0.73

Note that you'll probably have to adjust these four values for the image to
fit the pane correctly. I also modified the label bar width and closeness
to the image by setting:

resp at pmLabelBarWidthF = 0.04 ; make label bar less wide
 resp at pmLabelBarOrthogonalPosF = 0.005 ; move label bar closer to y-axis of
map

Any other questions, happy to help.
