Mary,

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately it does not work for me.

I'm also calling wrf_map_overlay after wrf_contour. I tried tweaking
vpWidthF and vpXF as can be seen in the uploaded script and outputs:

http://bi.offis.uni-oldenburg.de/wrf_contour/

Setting vpXF=0.0 and vpWidthF=1.0 didn't help. Passing the same resource
(instead of False) to wrf_map_overlay had no effect either.

I have general trouble understanding how the width of the plot (e.g., in
PostScript points) is calculated by NCL - all the vpXXX coordinates and
dimensions are relative to the "plotting device space", but what
determines how wide the whole plotting device is? I tried setting
type_at_wkDeviceUpperX = 1000 when initializing the workstation, but it
didn't change anything.
