Re: changing aspect ratio of the XY plot

Hi Mary,

Thanks for helping with this issue. I tried your code and my script
creates following information at the end,

(0) vpw/vph = 0.894878/0.406763
(0) vpw/vph should be 0.55/0.25

I think that the problem is in the "gsn_attach_plots" because when i
remove the second plot and also attaching them, my code also works and
the output is,

(0) vpw/vph = 0.55/0.25
(0) vpw/vph should be 0.55/0.25

You think that the problem could be in the second plot but i change the
order and when i try to plot only second one it also works without any
problem. So, "gsn_attach_plots" might be source of the problem. What do
you think?

Regards,
