Re: [ferret_users] axis property in split_z plot




Jaison,
   Thank you.
   I know what you mean though it's too trouble for rewriting a jnl like split_z. May the future version of Ferret has a new command for it so everybody can set the property for each plot?

Hi,
There are two points of concern.

1. The font size is not 'exact' but relative to the viewport
size. Hence the font size of 0.15 will not give you
exatcly similar sized labels on two viewports of different
size.

2. There are two kinds of PPL commands.

2.1) Stand alone --> you can give these commands anywhere
(to be effective you have to use it before the action
commands like FILL,SHADE,CONTOUR,VECTOR,PLOT..etc)

example : axlsze, axlabp, axlint, axnmtc....

## So with split_z, these type of ppl commands should work
fine if you use it before calling split_z.

2.2) Which needs to be between action command with "/SET_UP"
qualifier and the "PPL FILL or SHADE or PLOT..". Like

FILL/SET_UP/ ..... myvar
ppl SHAKEY......
ppl XFOR ..
ppl YFOR ..
PPL FILL

## So with split_z, it is difficult to use these sort of
ppl commands since the FILL/SHADE/CONT commands are
completely within the split_z script.

What to do ?
------------

Make a copy of the split_z.jnl (from ferret/go/split_z.jnl) file into
your pwd (in a new name, say split_z_custom.jnl). In this
split_z_custom.jnl file, the action commands are defined using the
symbol "($cmnd)" and it does have a /SET_UP qualifier. There are two
sets of "($cmnd)", one for the upper view and one for the lower view.
Use your ppl commands based on the explanations given above.


Here is the list (not complete, but usefull) of ppl commands in
different catogory:

! Anywhere After plot
! Stand alone Not stand alone Stand alone
!---------------------------------------------------------
! AXLABP XAXIS, YAXIS CLSPLT
! AXLEN AXTYPE SHASET
! AXLINT XFOR, YFOR ALINE
! AXLSZE XLAB, YLAB
! TXLSZE TXTYPE
! AXNMTC TXLINT
! AXNSIG SHAKEY
! AXSET VECKEY
! AXTYPE CONSET
! TICS LABSET
! TXLABP TITLE
! TXLSZE VECSET
! TXNMTC MARKH
!
! COLOR
! PEN
! CONPRE
! CONPST

Regards,

Jaison
