Hi Jimmy,
Another thing you could look at, to decimate the data along some
direction, is striding when you read the data, if it's in a netCDF
file. If you're using Ferret v6.02 or higher, there's simple syntax
which changes the way the axis appears to be defined for the entire
Ferret session, see
http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/Documentation/Release_Notes/v602.html#native_strides
Or, with any version of Ferret, if you have a variable on an x axis,
you can specify strides as follows (see "strides, netCDF discussion" in
the Users Guide index)
yes? use my_data.nc
yes? let nx = `var,return=isize`
yes? plot/dash var[i=1:`nx`:10]

All-
I have a stretched grid in the x direction. I am using the plot
commands. I was trying to make a series of overlays of 1 variable. The
problems are:
1. dashed lines don't work because of the variable grid spacing
(primarily because the spacing is so small that the dashes overlap);
2. symbols gave the same problem.
Is there a way, besides regridding to a regular axis, to skip points on
the x axis using plot? or even to control how often the symbols appear?
Does plot have something similar to x and yskip in vector?
Thanks for any insight.
