Re: Bounding Box for a panel plot using ncl 6.2.0 [SEC=UNOFFICIAL]

Hi Eunpa,

One can explicitly specify the size of the bounding box at the time the
workstation is opened; using your example BB:

 wksType = "ps"
 wksType@wkDeviceLowerX = 170
 wksType@wkDeviceLowerY = 126
 wksType@wkDeviceUpperX = 445
 wksType@wkDeviceUpperY = 660
 wks = gsn_open_wks (wksType,"xy")

This works for "eps" and "pdf" as well.

Hope that helps...
Rick
