Thanks Jaison, That's a good one! Try this variation on the lines at the start: use etopo60 ! set reg/l=6 ! set your desired region here define symbol var = rose[d=1] ! variable to be plotted; use respective ! dataset number since we load one ! more data file soon define symbol flev = (-inf)(-5000,5000,500)(inf) ! /LEVELS for fill command, always choose ! the final levels you want to use I did the centered palettes that come with Ferret, ls *center* > palette_list.txt Working with all the colors is always a lot of fun. Jaison Kurian wrote: Hi Feretters, Did you ever feel like "oh no....this default color scheme is not suitable for this plot"? And, it is too time consuming to explore other palette files in ferret/ppl directory? Here is an easy solution.....use palette_viewer! Use palette_viewer.jnl (see attachment), with your dataset and desired color /LEVELS to choose good palettes from a given list. Make the list of palette files from ferret/ppl directory (recent versions of Ferret comes with more than 100 palette files!) Use this tool and pick the best color scheme for your plot, especially to use in presentations and publications.........
