Re: [ferret_users] [ferret_users 5.70] shade, plot viewport

Hi,
Jimmy wrote back explaining his question a bit more, see below.

The DEFINE VIEW/AXES command does this.  When you define the viewport 
with /AXES, you are setting the location of the axes, and the colorbar 
will go in the margins that are left over.  If you set the /XLIM and 
/YLIM the same for different viewports then the axis lengths will be 
equal.  It also means that you need to leave space somewhere for the 
colorbar and other things that go in the margins. (and note that you can 
customize where the colorbar goes with a shade/set and shakey command)

Compare:

  ! These first definitions made without /AXES are the same as the default
  ! viewports ll and ul

  yes? def view/xlim=0:0.5/ylim=0:0.5 ll
  yes? def view/ylim=0:0.5/ylim=0.5:1 ur
  yes? set view ul; shade/i=1:14/j=1:10/lev=50 i+j
  yes? set view ll; plot/i=1:150 cos(i/20)

  ! These viewports are defined with /AXES so we need to leave space
  ! for the margins in the /xlim and /ylim.  Now the axes line up in 
the shade
  ! plot and the line plot.

  yes? set win/new
  yes? def view/axes/x=0.15:0.4/y=0.6:0.9 up
  yes? def view/axes/x=0.15:0.4/y=0.1:0.4 dn

  yes? set view up;  shade/i=1:14/j=1:10/lev=50 i+j
  yes? set view dn;  plot/i=1:150 cos(i/20)
