Re: how to make a multi-panel bar plot?

Sorry Gary, I should have been more clear about the unique
variable. For reasons that I don't understand, the internals of
attaching polygons and lines to a plot requires that you use a unique
variable every time you call this function.

I believe you can do this with append:

   dum = []

   dum.append(Ngl.add_polygon(wks,plot1,xbar,ybar,gsres))
   dum.append(Ngl.add_polyline(wks,plot1,xbar,ybar))
