Re: white space for script tm_2.ncl

The white space can be caused by a number of things, but you can start by trying to set gsnPanelYWhiteSpacePercent and/or gsnPanelXWhiteSpacePercent to something less than 5 but greater than 0. It
represents the percentage of white space. It looks like you already have this in your script below, so try making it smaller.

See example 6 at:
