Re: [ferret_users] remove zero from x-axis

[guimond@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Jaison,
 Thank you for your suggestion.  This procedure basically "whites out" 
the 0.0, which is good but not ideally what I was looking for.  There 
is a large gap between -1 and 1 where the "0.0" used to be and that may 
be interpreted wrongly when someone looks at the graph.  It looks like 
0.0 has values associated with it, when in reality it does not exist on 
my axis.  I may just assign missing values to 0.0, so there is a line 
of white above 0.0.  Any other suggestions?

Steve
