Re: Problemin creating title using time

Dear Adam,

Thank you for your guidance. I appreciate that. After several iterations and examining the label resources, I was able to get the labels plotted using the following lines:

...

    res@tiMainString = "Relative Humidity" ; title
    res@tiMainFontHeightF = 0.02
    res@tiMainOffsetYF = -0.01
    res@tiMainFontQuality = "High"
    res@tiMainFontThicknessF = 0.5
    res@tiMainFont = 25

    res@gsnCenterString = times(it)
    res@gsnCenterStringFontHeightF = 0.018
    res@gsnLeftString = "" ; set left subtitle
    res@gsnRightString = "" ; set right subtitle

...

I am attaching the final figure for your information. With regards,

Kemal.

Hi Kemal,
You can certainly set the following:
res@gsnCenterString = times(it)
res@tiMainString = "Relative Humidity"

Also, you are setting vpWidthF and vpHeightF, which for a map projection
plot will get ignored unless you also set
res@mpShapeMode = "FreeAspect"

Not that setting that will stretch/distort the map projection based on
the sizes you set via vpWidthF/vpHeightF. Most people do not want to do
this.

Anyway, for what it's worth.. Adam
