Hi Claire, There are some newer command qualifiers to make it easier to control the CONTOUR command. These are completely equivalent to using the PPL CONSET command but don't need the PPL syntax. Here are the lines from the Commands Reference section of the documentation, under CONTOUR. (I'll see if I can make it more obvious in the other discussions of contouring.)
CONTOUR/SIZE=
CONTOUR/SIGDIG=
CONTOUR/SPACING= Example o f CONTOUR/SIZE/SIGDIG/SPACING
yes? LET my_field = SIN(X[x=1:6:.1])*COS(Y[y=1:6:0.1]) at a nominal spacing of 3 "inches", consistent with the PLOT+ usage of "inches". (These are the same units as in, say, "ppl axlen 8,6", to specify plot axes of lengths 8 and 6 inches for horizontal and vertical axes, respectively.) Livingston, Claire wrote: First of all... Happy Holidays everyone!! Ok, now my problem. I'm trying to make my contour labels larger. I found the command: ppl conset 0.15 but no change in my plot. I even went nuts and changed the 0.15 to a 0.5; still no change. So, I used the command ppl conpst @CIcm to add "cm" to my contour label, and lo and behold, it took! At least I know some ppl con... commands are working. Are there versions of Ferret that won't recognize conset? I downloaded this version 2 years ago. Any suggestions how to make this work? Thanks and Have a Happy New Year!!! Claire Livingston Oceanographer Naval Oceanographic Office Stennis Space Center (228) 689-8263 livingstonc@navo.navy.mil |
