Re: seeing date information

[Ansley Manke <Ansley.B.Manke@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
The TITLE, XLAB, YLAB are all positioned in specific locations
and can't be moved, themselves.  But if you remove the title, for
instance, you can always put that information elsewhere on the
page with the LABEL command.

Also, you can change any of these labels, without using /NOLABEL.
Here's a slightly different way of making the same plot, just so
you have another example (also see the script remove_logo for
another way to control the Ferret logo).   This example makes up
some data to plot.

yes? CANCEL  MODE logo   ! new in v5.50: turn off the 3-line Ferret logo

yes? FILL/TITLE=""/SET  x[x=1:15] + y[y=1:10]
yes? PPL XLAB "new xlab"
yes? PPL YLAB "new ylab"
yes? PPL FILL

! Now add a label, using plot page coordinates

yes? LET xpos = ($ppl$xlen)/2
yes? LET ypos = ($ppl$ylen)+0.5
yes? LABEL/NOUSER `xpos`, `ypos`,  0, 0, 0.15 "new title at top"
