Re: Changing legend location and plot size

Hi Wee-Beng,

You are setting legend resources, but this is a labelbar that you are
trying to move.

Try setting

  vcres@lbOrientation = "Vertical"

For the shape of the plot, since you are not overlaying the vectors
on a map, the "mp" resource will have no effect.

You should just be able to set vpWidthF and vpHeightF to get the
shape you want, but the values need to be between 0.0 and 1.0. You
can also
set vcres@gsnMaximize = True which will maximize your plot in the
frame and preserve the aspect ratio.

So, if you want the plot to be twice as wide as it is high, try:

    vcres@gsnMaximize = True
   vcres@vpWidthF = 0.8
   vcres@vpHeightF = 0.4
