Re: spaces between panel plots

Dear Xin,

Part of the problem is that you are paneling plots that are different sizes. The top left plot is bigger than everybody else, because it has labels on the top and left of the plot.

I created an example that mimics what you're doing. The key is to set some gsnPanel resources to control which plot the scaling is based on, to add some margin to the left and right side of the plots, and to increase the spacing a little between the plots (because when you change which plot is used for the scaling, the plots are drawn much too close together).

See example panel_28.ncl at:

I found a ncl example (panel_23.ncl), but with view point method. I am wondering whether there is another way to do it in gsn_panel. Plus the YR labels are missing.
