Re: [ferret_users] PPL xlab fails after PPL axlabp +1,-1

[James.Orr@xxxxxx]

And here is the same problem when "ppl xlab" is actually given:

  use levitus_climatology

! 1) This works fine (x-axis label on bottom)
  ppl axlabp -1,-1
  plot/nolab/set temp[i=30,j=30]
  ppl xlab Temp (C)
  ppl ylab Depth
  ppl plot
  pause

! 2) This does NOT work (No x-axis label on top)
  ppl axlabp +1,-1
  plot/nolab/set temp[i=30,j=30]
  ppl xlab Temp (C)
  ppl ylab Depth
  ppl plot

Thanks,

Jim
