Hi Mary,
I'm drawing multiple plots on one page. The individual plots have
different sizes and shapes so I'm not using Ngl.panel. I use
Ngl.panel all the time for multiple plots of the same size and
shape.
OK, how do I maximize the plots in a non-square area? Or how can I
make the "square" use the full height of the page?
Just one more clarification. So nglPaperMargin, nglPaperWidth,
nglPaperHeight only work when nglMaximize = True ?
Thanks,
- Ivan
