Thanks for the example plot - a good way to show what you
want to do.
There are two approaches you could use here. One is to do a
PLOT/NOLABEL and then add back the labels you want with
the Ferret LABEL command, or do more of the same kind of thing
you've done with GO unlabel.
After making the whole plot as you've done, "ppl list labels" shows
the labels you want to get rid of or move. So the commands for the
upper plot become:
!
! Plot wind vectors with no x axis
!
define viewport/ylimits=0.5,1.0 WV
set viewport WV
plot/set uwnd,vwnd
ppl title ! no title under plot
ppl axset 1,0 ! no lower axis
ppl ylab Wind Speed (m/s)
! Remove the unwanted labels, and also the DODS URL
go unlabel 8
go unlabel 10
go unlabel 11
go unlabel 12
ppl plotuv
! Put the URL label on separately.
label/nouser `($ppl$xlen)/2 - 1.`, 3.2, -1, 0, .09, \

Hello Ferreters, I'm trying to customize a plot and need some help with making it pretty. I'd like to move the DODS URL: label to the left so that the whole url shows and remove the variable names and the DATA SET LABEL:. I attached a marked up image that shows what I'd like to do. Any advice or suggestions are welcomed. Here's the Ferret commands that produced the plot: use "http://dods.mbari.org/cgi-bin/nph-nc/data/OASISdata/netcdf/hourlyM1.nc" set region/t="1-JUN-2001":"30-JUN-2001" ! !
