Re: How to use NCL to move label bar away from contour plot

As an FYI, if you still need to tweak the position of the labelbar,
then you can use the pmLabelBarOrthogonalPosF resource to move it
up/down if you have horizontal labelbar, or right/left if you have a
vertical labelbar.

The pmLabelBarParallelPosF resource is similar, except it moves
the labelbar parallel to its positioni.

See example 3 at:
