You are turning on your YLLabels then turning them off for each subsequent space for each panel based on your first all the other panels due to the YLLabels to set resP@gsnPanelScalePlotIndex = 2 (or 3 pplications/panel.shtml#ex24">http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/panel.shtml#ex24 the YLLabels of your first plot to get shoved off you should set resP@gsnPanelLeft to leave side of the frame for the labels to appear.

If you are setting tiYAxisOn = False, and still are not seeing the desired results please go ahead and send the script to ncl-talk.. On 08/27/2013 08:32 AM, Marston Johnston wrote: Hi Adam, I take it this tiXAxisOn is part of the options for the single plots and not the panel itself? I tried as you suggested but to no avail. Would you like to see the code?

Are you saying that you set the same resource to 0 in the panel resource list and you are still not getting rid of enough white space? If so, try setting tiYAxisOn= False (tells NCL to not allocate space for the y-axis title) in your plot resource list to see if that frees up any further space. If you still are not getting the desired results let NCL talk know..

I found the panel plot page but got a bit lost in the many examples. I got all but the white space to work. In the example, the resP variable is set to False, but that is not a good option for me as I would like to do other things with the plots than simply remove the white space. Setting the percentage of whitespace in the x-axis direction to 0 didn't give the desired results. /M On Mon, Aug 26, 2013 at 6:20 PM, Adam Phillips <asphilli@ucar.edu <mailto:asphilli@ucar.edu>> wrote: Hi Marston, Whenever I have a question related to paneling I will first take a look at the paneling examples page located off of the examples page here: http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/ ("Panel plots", located along the left side of page 1/2 down.) Of course not everything is covered with the examples, but I usually find what I need on that page. The answers for your 1st and 4th questions can be found on that page. 1.) I would like the colorbar to be lower so that the label on the X-axis (bottom) to be plotted and seen. You should set pmLabelbarOrthogonalPosF in your panel resource list. See example #21 here: http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/panel.shtml#ex21 2.) How do I label the longitude (x-axis) similarly to the latitude (y-axis) label, i.e., (-10W 0 10E)? You will want to set tmXBMode = "Explicit", and then set tmXBValues = (/-10,0,10/) and tmXBLabels = (/"10W","0E","10E"/). This example (#2) modifies the x-axis labels for a timeseries plot, but the usage of the above resources is the same: http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/tickmarks.shtml#ex2 or, see example #6 here: http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/mptick.shtml#ex6 3.) How do I increase the spacing between the gsnLeft/Center/RightString (s) and the top axis? gsnLeftStringOrthogonalPosF / gsnCenterStringOrthogonalPosF / gsnRightStringOrthogonalPosF To see an example of their use, see example 3 here: http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/raster.shtml#ex3 4.) How do I reduce the whitespace between the plots? gsnPanelXWhiteSpacePercent See example #6 here: http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/panel.shtml#ex6 Hope that helps!
