Re: maximize the plot

Hi Ousmane,
For XY plots, you can adjust the shape of them using the following
resources: vpXF, vpYF, vpWidthF, and vpHeightF. When paneling the former
two are not needed. By default, vpWidthF and vpHeightF = 0.6, which
results in a square plot shape. If you want to panel 4 XY plots, and put
them all in one column, I would suggest trying to set vpWidthF = 0.8,
and vpHeightF = 0.3 as a first guess.

Take a look at example #24 here:
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/panel.shtml#ex24
and example #5 here:
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/xy.shtml#ex5

to see examples of vpWidthF and vpHeightF being used.. Note that the
units of these resources are in NDC units, which run from 0->1 along
both the X and Y planes of your workstation. Also note that when
paneling the ratio of vpWidthF and vpHeightF will be maintained, but the
sizes of each that are set may not be..

If that advice doesn't help, please respond to ncl-talk..
