Re: frequency_histogram.jnl

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

Hi Vincent,
This more recent version of  frequency_histogram.jnl (attached) does make
bars, unfilled or filled. It runs with version 5.41.

 yes? SET DATA levitus_climatology
 yes? GO  frequency_histogram temp[X=0:360,Y=0:45N,Z=0] 0 32 0.5
 yes? GO  frequency_histogram temp[X=0:360,Y=0:45N,Z=0] 0 32 0.5 " " y 1

Even if you don't update to a newer Ferret executable, you can get all 
the updated
scripts from the Ferret Downloads page.
http://www.ferret.noaa.gov/Ferret/Downloads/ferret_downloads.html

Towards the bottom there is a link to obtain all the Up-to-date script 
files, which are available
via ftp. (Or you could download a Ferret Environment tar file from one 
of the linux or
Solaris downloads pages; the scripts are contained in those tar files 
and are the same for
all operating systems).   Except in a few rare cases, the newer scripts 
will run with older
executables and some have significant improvements.

! frequency_histogram.jnl - *sh* 8/94
! *acm* Add argument to choose hollow or filled bars. Also fix
!       the call to bar_chart2.jnl which should use plot/line
!
! Description: produce a 1D frequency histogram

! Usage:  
!    yes? GO frequency_histogram expression lo hi del [weight] [axis]  [style]

! Note: this procedure (actually the bar_chart2 routine) uses the Y axis
!	internally so it may not work properly if the Y axis has a region
! 	set (it may even crash).  In this case either include the Y limits
!	in the expression (i.e. "temp[y=0]" instead of "temp" with Y=0 in the
!       region) or specify a free axis in the optional [AXIS] parameter

! Note: If this script fails due to a large amount of input data, use 
!       frequency_histogram2.jnl which does not call Unix sort and awk
!       tools, but instead uses Ferret functions to compile the bins.

! arguments:
!    expression  - expression (values) from which histogram is to be computed
!    lo, hi, del - the range of values for which a histogram is desired
!    [weight]    - optional expression with weight for each value
!    [axis]      - a free axis that the procedure can use (if Y isn't free)
!    [style]     - 0 for hollow bars, 1 for filled.

! Defaults:  weight - "1" ("weight" can be a variable name)
!            axis - "Y"
!            style - "0" hollow

! Sample usage:
!	yes? SET DATA levitus_climatology
!	yes? GO  frequency_histogram temp[X=0:360,Y=0:45N,Z=0] 0 32 0.5
!
!	yes? GO  frequency_histogram temp[X=0:360,Y=0:45N,Z=0] 0 32 0.5 " " y 1


! The optional "weight" parameter multiplies each grid cell by the variable
! supplied.  In the surface temperature example above this might be the
! area of each grid cell as follows:
!let r=6370		! radius of earth
!let pi=atan(1.)*4.
!let deg2rad=pi/180.
!let deg2km=2*pi*r/360.
!let area=xbox[g=TEMP]*ybox[g=TEMP]*cos(y[g=TEMP]*deg2rad)*deg2km*deg2km*1e-6
!SET VARIABLE/TITLE="Area of grid cells"/Unit="km^22 x 10^-6" area
!GO frequency_histogram TEMP 0 32 .5 area
