Re: [ferret_users] bad graphics



Hi Nuncio,
We've been having trouble sending mail to your address (the error is that the message is "rejected by the recipient domain"), but at least this should reach you through the Ferret list.

There should not be a difference between specifying 1-jan-2012:00:00 and just 1-jan-2012 for daily data, and I am not able to reproduce what you're seeing.  I searched for pres.sfc.2012.nc and downloaded this file:

ftp://ftp.cdc.noaa.gov/Datasets/ncep.reanalysis.dailyavgs/surface/pres.sfc.2012.nc

And running the rhel6 Ferret executable (is your system 64-bit, or 32-bit?) here is my session:

> ./flat64/bin/ferret
        NOAA/PMEL TMAP
        FERRET v6.72 
        Linux 2.6.32-131.12.1.el6.x86_64 64-bit - 09/13/11
        25-Apr-12 09:37    

yes? use pres.sfc.2012.nc
yes? sho data
     currently SET data sets:
    1> ./pres.sfc.2012.nc  (default)
 name     title                             I         J         K         L
 PRES     mean Daily Pressure at surface   1:144     1:73      ...       1:113
 
yes? sh grid pres
    GRID GSK1
 name       axis              # pts   start                end
 LON       LONGITUDE          144mr   0E                   2.5W
 LAT       LATITUDE            73 r   90S                  90N
 normal    Z
 TIME      TIME               113 r   01-JAN-2012 00:00    22-APR-2012 00:00


yes? set mode meta
yes? contour/y=-45/t=1-jan-2012:31-jan-2012 pres

yes? ppl clsplt
yes? contour/y=-45/t=1-jan-2012:15-jan-2012 pres
yes? quit


The resulting plots are attached. I'm not sure what could cause what you're seeing. Did you use PPL CLSPLT to clear the graphics between different plots?  Perhaps check the dataset and your Ferret installation.

HI ,
 I used just the "contour" command

 contour/y=-45/t=1-jan-2012:31-jan-2012 pres

but this improve if I issue

contour/y=-45/t="1-jan-2012 00:00:00":"31-jan-2012 13:00:00" pres

anything less than 31-jan-2012 13:00:00 wont work

If I want to plot for the first 15 days, 1-15 jan 2012, above syntax does'nt work
but, contour/y=-45/t="1-jan-2012 00:00:00":"15-jan-2012 00:00:00" pres works
Is this a problem with NetCDF file ? but why Ferret is confused here I am not getting !

file used is pres.sfc.2012.nc daily ncep surface pressure

Ferret is loaded on openSuSE12.1

Hi Nuncio,
Is that plot drawn using a single CONTOUR command?  Please write back 
and include more information about the commands that you used.

Hi all,
        For a hovemoller plot of NCEP surface pressure FERRET gives misplaced ticks and axes. Please see the attached figure

any suggestions?
