Re: metafile translation



The PPL commands in "go unlabel" should be used after a  PLOT/SET_UP.   For example:

  set data coads_climatology
  let p = sst[x=100:200,y=0]; let q = airt[x=100:200,y=0]
  go variance

  ! Here is where you need the /SET_UP qualifier:

  plot/SET/title="correl"  correl
    ppl ylab "m"
    go unlabel 1;go unlabel 3;go unlabel 6;go unlabel 7
  ppl plot

  plot/ov/nolabels/dash/colour=black covar

The /SET_UP qualifier means that Ferret waits for PPLUS commands
to modify the plot before writing to the output file.  If /SET is not used,
Ferret writes the label commands into the metafile when the PLOT
command is issued.  The labels are removed in the screen version by
later "unlabel" commands, but are still in the metafile which is then
converted to postscript.
