pattern filled contours - label bar removal

I'm wanting to have a pattern fill overlay on another filled contour plot,
with only the legend (label bar) for the former plot is shown. However, it
seems that to get the filled patterns to display, you must have cnFillOn set
to true, and doing so results in a label bar being generated, and the pm
resources will not override the generation of the label bar [e.g.,
pmLabelBarDisplayMode = "NoCreate"] (though you can manipulate the bar's
appearance). My poor man's solution for single plots has been to push the
orthogonal position of the label bar outside of the 'page', but with the
desire to now place these plots into a panel display - the undesired label bar
is once again inside the plotting area. It seems like there must be some way
to override label bar generation while still preserving the needed settings
for pattern filled plots - but I can't seen to come up with the right
combination.

Thanks again,
Glen
