Re: Problem with spacing between plots in a panel plot

Hi Soumik,
Your top 4 plots are not taking up all of the space you are allotting to them. They are maxed out on the page horizontally, and they are only taking up roughly 0.5-0.9 of vertical NDC space. To take up more space, NCL would need to alter the aspect ratio of the plot(s), something it won't do unless you tell it to. (Setting res@mpShapeMode= "FreeAspect" would do that. )

Try setting gsnPanelTop for your bottom 2 plots to 0.45 (instead of 0.3)..
Hope that helps.. Adam
