Re: size control in panel plot

Follow-on question... I almost always set all the fontheights manually
because they change so much when you do paneling. So I usually have
something like this:

  ;; ...standardize the font sizes
  fontHeightF = 0.02
  res@cnInfoLabelFontHeightF = fontHeightF
  res@gsnLeftStringFontHeightF = fontHeightF
  res@gsnRightStringFontHeightF = fontHeightF
  res@lbTitleFontHeightF = fontHeightF
  res@lbLabelFontHeightF = fontHeightF
  res@tiMainFontHeightF = fontHeightF * 1.3
  res@tiYAxisFontHeightF = fontHeightF
  res@tiXAxisFontHeightF = fontHeightF
  res@tmXBLabelFontHeightF = fontHeightF
  res@tmYLLabelFontHeightF = fontHeightF

Is there a simpler way?
