Hi Mike, Thanks for the example plot - a good way to show what you want to do. There are two approaches you could use here. One is to do a PLOT/NOLABEL and then add back the labels you want with the Ferret LABEL command, or do more of the same kind of thing you've done with GO unlabel. After making the whole plot as you've done, "ppl list labels" shows the labels you want to get rid of or move. So the commands for the upper plot become: ! ! Plot wind vectors with no x axis ! define viewport/ylimits=0.5,1.0 WV set viewport WV plot/set uwnd,vwnd ppl title ! no title under plot ppl axset 1,0 ! no lower axis ppl ylab Wind Speed (m/s) ! Remove the unwanted labels, and also the DODS URL go unlabel 8 go unlabel 10 go unlabel 11 go unlabel 12 ppl plotuv ! Put the URL label on separately. label/nouser `($ppl$xlen)/2 - 1.`, 3.2, -1, 0, .09, \ "http://dods.mbari.org/cgi-bin/nph-nc/data/OASISdata/netcdf/hourlyM1.nc" Ansley Manke McCann, Mike wrote: Hello Ferreters, I'm trying to customize a plot and need some help with making it pretty. I'd like to move the DODS URL: label to the left so that the whole url shows and remove the variable names and the DATA SET LABEL:. I attached a marked up image that shows what I'd like to do. Any advice or suggestions are welcomed. Here's the Ferret commands that produced the plot: use "http://dods.mbari.org/cgi-bin/nph-nc/data/OASISdata/netcdf/hourlyM1.nc" set region/t="1-JUN-2001":"30-JUN-2001" ! !
