Re: (no subject)

Saji has a good suggestion.. Adding to that, I think you do want to use
the viewport resources (vpYF, vpXF, vpWidthF, vpHeightF). However, I'd use
them only for your XY plot. I think it would be most efficient to draw
your contour plots with gsn_panel however. So, the order of your code
would be like this:

create X1 plot
create X2 plot (do not draw or advance the frame for either)

resP = True
resP@gsnPanelBottom = 0.45 ; draw panel plots above .45 NDC units
resP@gsnFrame = False
gsn_panel(wks,plot,(/2,1/),resP)

res = True
res@vpWidthF = 0.8
res@vpXF = (1-res@vpWidthF)/2.
res@vpHeightF = 0.3
res@vpYF = 0.4
<snip>
plot = gsn_csm_xy(....)

You will likely have to adjust the vp resource settings I set here.. But I
definitely think this is the way to go.
Good luck,
Adam
