[ferret_users] difference between vertical and horizontal key labeling

[Franziska Schwarzkopf <fschwarzkopf@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Ferreters,

I came across a confusing issue with the "shakey" command:
When creating a vertical key with infinity at the ends and displaying
every n-th level-label (klab_Inc=n) the first level labeled is the
smallest non-infinity number (see attached: key_vertical.gif). Changing
to horizontal key starts labelling at the (n-1)-th non-infinity number
(see attached: key_horizontal.gif).
Is there a way to tell ferret to do it in the same way for both,
vertical and horizontal keys?

Thanks and Regards,
Franziska
