Font sizes and margins changed in v8.2.2? [message #84563] Wed, 05 June 2013 14:14

Hello,

The question mark in the subject line is there because the behaviour I
am seeing may be due to changes in my computer (upgrade from RHE5 to RHE6).

I have a multiple-plot-per-window plot command that looks like:

index++
pdi = PLOT( $
sensor_channel, y, $
LAYOUT = [ n_col, n_row, index ], $
CURRENT = owin )

which gave me the output I wanted - a nice looking grid of n_col x n_row
plots:
http://ftp.emc.ncep.noaa.gov/jcsda/CRTM/.plots/old.png

However, since I got v8.2.2 installed, the same code produced the
following output:
http://ftp.emc.ncep.noaa.gov/jcsda/CRTM/.plots/new.png
i.e. wide+short with a very large title font.

To get similar looking output in my v8.2.2 install I have to do the
following:

index++
pdi = PLOT( $
sensor_channel, y, $
LAYOUT = [ n_col, n_row, index ], $
MARGIN = [0.125,0.16,0.05,0.1], $
FONT_SIZE = 9, $
CURRENT = owin )

i.e. add the MARGIN keyword and FONT_SIZE property.

Any insights as to whether this is an issue with IDL 8.2.2, or with my
computer (somehow, waving hands in air here)?

Thanks for any info.

cheers,

paulv
