Re: Getting bigger numbers on a plot grid(?)



Hi Jonni,

	Here are three ppl commands that can control the heights of
labels (though there are other ways in the plot and contour commands)

----------------------------------------------
ppl labset,htitle,hxlab,hylab,hmovelab
Title height         : ppl labset 1st argument
x-axis label height  : ppl labset 2nd argument
y-axis label height  : ppl labset 3rd argument
Movable label height : ppl labset 4th argument

ppl axlsze,hxval,hyval
x-axis value height  : ppl axlsze 1st argument
y-axis value height  : ppl axlsze 2nd argument

ppl conset,hconlab
Contour label height : ppl conset 1st argument
-----------------------------------------------
A demo that may help

region/i=1:10
let/title="x-axis label" vx=i
let/title="y-axis label" vy=1/i
plot/vs/set/title="Main title" vx,vy
! now set the label and axis value heights
ppl labset,0.2,0.18,0.16,0.25 ; ppl axlsze,0.12,0.14
ppl labs   ! clear the movable labels set by ferret
ppl labs,1,@srMovable label
!****************************************************************
! After the plot is drawn the ppl labs,1 (without x,y position
! values lets the user choose the positioning with the crosshairs.
! First click on (say) center in the menu, then place the cross
! where you want the label to go and click again.
!****************************************************************
ppl plot

NOTE ON MOVABLE LABELS:
When you use the cursor to position labels interactively the crosshair
position is returned as symbols XMOUSE,YMOUSE and also in a file that
gets created (fort.41) that contains the "ppl labs" information that
achieves the label (which you can cut and paste into subsequent hard-
wired versions of the script.  It also gives the user the ability to
define points, line segments, polygons based on what appears on the
screen.

Good luck,
Mick
