Re: length of vector reference

Hi Jian,
To be clear, I don't believe anything was technically wrong with either
your script or NCL's behavior.. You just had to come up with a standard
way to adjust the vcRefLength for the 2nd panel to make it the same as
the first, which is what you and Tingting have done. So I see this as
being resolved..
