[gradsusr] How to draw string that matches default title settings?

[Lyndz]

Hi Tracey,

If you look at the source code of set_parea.gs, you will see these lines.

            'set strsiz 0.25'
            'set string 1 c 6'
            'draw string 'x_cent' 'y_cent' 'i','j

>From this, you can just tweak the 'set strsiz'.
For your 2 by 2 panels, I have the following values:

set_parea 2 2 1 1 -margin 0.9
d precip
draw title GFS

set strsiz 0.199 0.24
set string 2 c 6
draw string 2.475 9.5 GFS
draw string 2.475 10  Cycle 2018061018 f03 Valid 2018061021

See attached output file.
You can just change the values of the x and y positions of the strings
above.

Is this what you want?

I hope this helps.
