Re: NCL plot orientation changing from one computer cluster to another

Thanks, Dave, for your suggestions! I really appreciate your response.

I tried both of those solutions as well and still the image is rotated
90-degrees, to be in portrait mode.

I suppose I can just rotate all of my images after the fact, but it
seems like there should be a way to get it to plot correctly from the
start!

Thanks again,
Kelly
