The m after 180 indicates that the axis COADSX is modulo. If it
weren't, we could say:
yes? SET AXIS/MODULO COADSX
Once your axis is a modulo axis, you can specify any X range
and Ferret will take care of the shift. Here is an example,
where I just define an axis and make up some data. Then
both are plotted using a different X range.
yes? define axis/x=0e:2.5w:2.5/units=longitude/modulo myx
yes? let a = sin(x[gx=myx]/12) + 27.
yes? use coads_climatology
yes? plot/x=-180:180 sst[L=1,y=0], a
Starting with Ferret version 5.5, any longitude axis which is not
longer than 360 is by default a modulo axis, so the /MODULO
qualifier would not be needed.

Hi Ferreters!I want to visualize climatological data. In general, I know what to do.
Unfortunately, the data set starts at 0E (I=1) and ends at 2.5W (I=144).
But I would like to have a start at 20W (I=136 ??). How can I shift the axis that I=136 becomes I=1???Michael
