Re: Panel plot with 2 distinct plot sizes for 9 panels

Hi James,
If the method shown in example 20 doesn't interest you, I would
recommend employing the method shown in example 17. Create each row
seperately by calling gsn_panel 3 times, setting
gsnPanelTop/gsnPanelBottom appropriately for each call. The settings of
gsnPanelTop/gsnPanelBottom will have to be hashed out through running
your program, tweaking the settings, and running again.

For example:

plot = new(9,graphic)
plot(0) = ...
...
plot(2) = ...

resP = True
resP@gsnPanelTop = 0.95
resP@gsnPanelBottom = 0.65
resP@gsnFrame = False
gsn_panel(wks,plot(:2),(/1,3/),resP)

plot(3) = ...
...
plot(5) = ...

resP@gsnPanelTop = 0.65
resP@gsnPanelBottom = 0.4
gsn_panel(wks,plot(3:5),(/1,3/),resP)

plot(6) = ...
plot(7) = ...
resP@gsnPanelTop = 0.4
resP@gsnPanelBottom = 0.05
resP@gsnPanelLabelBar = True
gsn_panel(wks,plot(6:),(/1,3/),resP)
frame(wks)
