Re: Outlining grid boxes

[Ansley Manke <ansley.b.manke@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi John,
Take a look at the FAQ,
http://www.ferret.noaa.gov/Ferret/FAQ/custom_plots/outline_a_mask.html

which shows a method of defining areas and outlining them using a script
called mask_outline.jnl which is included in the Ferret distribution; I
imagine you could modify this to outline individual grid boxes.

I see that the script needs some updating; it creates variables for the
upper and lower edges of grid boxes rather than using the pseudo-variables
XBOXLO, XBOXHI, etc.  I'll let you know when this is updated; right
now it looks like it's only good for regularly-spaced grids.
