Hi Jan,
Yes, in fact, these controls only work for PS and PDF output, and not
for NCGM and X11 output.

Just to be certain, did you have "res@" in front of the gsnPaper*
resources? In the above code, you listed them without a "res@".

One thing that can throw off the maximization routine is if you draw
a text string or some other object on the same frame before you draw
the paneled plots. By any chance are you doing that here?

My mailer couldn't seem to handle the attached PNG file. Can you send
it again in another format?

We should be able to get this working, but it will help once I am
able to see the resultant file.
Thanks,
