Hi all,I'm trying to plot dates over a station map using a repeat loop cycle,
but
apparently the symbol definition is out of sync. The dates are extractedfrom the time axis.
For example, running the script test_sym.jnl:
---------------------------------------------------------
def ax/t="1-jan-2002":"3-jan-2002"/np=5 ttlet var = 1+l+0*t[gt=tt]
plot/vs/hlim=1:5/vlim=1:5/nolab var,var
repeat/l=1:5 ( def sym dd `var,return=tstart,pre=3`; show sym dd;
plot/vs/ov/hlim=1:5/vlim=1:5/nolab var,var; label `var`,`var`,0,0,0.1
@as ($dd) )
--------------------------------------------------------the first run plots no labels, and on the second run the labels are
equal
to the last definition of previous run: 03-JAN-2002.Is there a command to update the symbol definition at each loop cycle ?
And, another question: is there a way to get only the output string:
03-JAN using the backquote syntax ? or do I need to use the
ppl function EXTRACT() ?Thanks.
Paulo.
