Re: [ferret_users] why .ps file curve line is not thick



Hi everyone,
There is also an FAQ which summarizes the ideas that are in the email archives:

Hi Yogesh -

This is because Fprint writes postscript line weights 1,2,3 for the Ferret thicknesses. But even line weight 3 is only slightly thicker in postscript. There is no direct equivalence between a thick line on the screen and what appears in postscript.

This has been discussed here before. Try searching the archives for "lw" or "line weight". It is fairly easy to edit the line weights in the postscript output of ferret to make any thickness you want. It can often be done automatically in a script.

Hello Ferret Users,

I ploted a line curve by command :-

!++++++++
set mode metafile

plot/vs/nolab/line/color=red/thick=3 V1,V2


cancel mode metafile

spawn Fprint -l cps -p portrait -R -o out.ps metafile.plt
!+++++++++

The out.ps file dosen't shows the thick line, its normal thin red line. I tried with line=14 command then also .ps file shows thin line.

And when I converted .ps file to .eps by the linux command -

!+++++
Fprint -o out.ps -p portrait -R metafile.plt
awk '{print ($1=="%\!PS-Adobe-1.0" ? "%\!PS-Adobe-2.0 EPSF-1.2" : $0)}' <out.ps >out.eps
!++++

then the red line converts in the dash line.


Kindly help, how to make or ovelay thick color curve and save as .ps as it is.

Thanks,

Regards,
Yogesh
