Re: YR Label does show with vp settings

Thanks, Mary! I was also able to tune the vpXF/YF to make the YR show up.

I notice that this method only works for gsn_csm_xy2. It does not work for
the method of using gsn_csm_xy (for bar) and gsn_add_annotation (for
curves), which is the way to go if multiple curves are overlaid to a bar
plot. Plus, modifying vp setting in that case will change the fontheight of
labels/axis.
