Hi Ansley and David, I have just run into a case similar to David's using shade when multiple column figs are needed, where the color shifted one tick upwards on the most right cols. There are 3x3 plots on each figure. Attached ppt slides contains (only the most right cols are shown here for each case): left panel: generated in the normal ferret mode middle panel: in the ferret -gif model (color is shifted and the values of 0 to -1 are now colored yellow instead of green as it should be.) right panel: in the ferret -gif mode but shade the same field again, which yields the same plots as in the left panel. (In all three cases, the first and second cols do not experience any changes.) This behavior does not occur all the times.
