Re: [ferret_users] contour/spacing

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

Hi Emile,
The qualifier /SPACING is a shortcut to the argument dslab in the PPL 
command CONSET.  If you search for dslab in the archives you will find 
some discussions of this, for example here is one to get you started 
understanding what may be happening.  Searching for CONSET in the 
archives will also point you to useful discussions.
