Re: cannot use vpXF, vpYF, vpWidthF, and vpHeightF to make panel plots

Xiaoming,

The wrf_xxxx plotting functions are generally meant to be “black box” routines for drawing plots on an 8.5” x 11” piece of paper. The plots are resized as necessary to fit this size, and hence the vpXXX resources are ignored.

To force the vp resources to take effect, you can apply them *after* the plots are created. You can do this via a “setvalues” block.

Instead of this:

       pltres@vpHeightF =0.4
       pltres@vpWidthF = 0.4
       pltres@vpYF = 0.95-ifile_loop*0.41
; pltres@vpXF =0.15+ispecies*0.405

        plot(ifile_loop) = wrf_overlays(a,wks,(/contour_W,vector/),pltres)
  end do ; END OF TIME LOOP
    draw(plot(ifile_loop))
end do ; ifiles

Try this:

        plot(ifile_loop) = wrf_overlays(a,wks,(/contour_W,vector/),pltres)
       setvalues contour_W
         "vpHeightF" : 0.4
         "vpWidthF" : 0.4
         "vpYF" : 0.95-ifile_loop*0.41
       end setvalues
       draw(contour_W)
