Hi Ansley
Thanks, yes
I did come across those
messages but struggled to apply it to my situation.
As a
suggestion, would it be useful to
expand the standard ferret data to include some IPCC AR4 output, or at
least a
thinned out version which could be used for generating ferret examples,
or
illustrating attempts at producing different effects in ferret? The
reason why
the IPCC data is so useful is that it covers a wide range of data
possibilities,
both geographically and temporarily, and uses up-to-date netcdf
standards. This
would have been useful in illustrating my example, without the need to
attach
figures. And it makes is easier for others to respond to specific
queries (as
they can just execute the journal script).
And no I’m
not necessarily
suggesting that we contribute Australian IPCC data (!), it could even
be a mix
of data from different models.
On a
different note, it would be good if all
of the compiled external functions could be supplied with ferret
distributions,
people can easily delete them if they are not necessary, and I think
size of
the executable distribution is not such an issue (for the convenience
it could
make to those who struggle compiling the EFs) for most.
Thanks and
regards,
Mark.

getting vertical labelling correct on log(P) graph
Hi
Mark,
Ferret does not do automatic log axes for 2-D plots, as you've
found. Here is a message about drawing tic marks and labelling a log
axis. You'll need to adapt it for your vertical axis, but that should
be
straitforward.

The ideas are also in this FAQ -
