Re: [ferret_users] shaded plot for discrete data

[David Wang <climater@xxxxxxxxx>]

thank you all for the responses. it seems that there is no straightforward, but workable solution. meanwhile using Matlab could probably save the hassle.

We could produce a fake shakey which is actually a plot of
an artificial 2D field:

 define axis/x=0:10:1 my_x
 define axis/y=0:1:1 my_y
 let a = x[gx=my_x] + 0*y[gy=my_y]

 define view/axes/x=0.1:0.9/y=0.1:0.15 my_view
 set view my_view

 shade/lev=(0.5,9.5,1)/hlimits=0.5:9.5:1/vlimits=0:1:1\
    /nokey/nolabel a
 ! Fix the axis labeling and remove unnecessary
 ! elements using ppl commands.

This isn't particularly elegant.  I'm not sure if it's less
arduous than what Ansley describes, either.

Regards,
Ryo
