Re: Problem with spacing between plots in a panel plot

Hi Soumik,
I am not sure what your vp* resources in your panel resource lists
(dresPanel) are actually doing. I would comment those out to make sure
they are not conflicting w/the labelbar placement. That's my first
suggestion. If that doesn't work, do not draw the labelbar via gsn_panel
for the last 2 plots, and turn on the labelbar for this plot:
  plot1_eke2 = gsn_csm_contour_map(wks,eke_diff1,dbres)
setting the labelbar to vertical.. The reason I am suggesting this is
that gsn_panel determines the space to allocate for each panel plot
based on the first paneled plot (by default). Adding a labelbar to the
2nd plot should not change anything position wise.

If none of that works let ncl-talk know.
