Re: [ferret_users] symbols LABZ, LABT as LABX, LABY

Hi Patrick-
We do have something of the sort, in a recent addition.  What you 
propose might be even more convenient, but after any plot, there are a 
set of symbols defined,  LABNUM*

For example,

yes? use coads_climatology
yes? plot/x=180/y=0 sst

yes? sh sym sst
yes? sh sym lab*
LAB1 = "FERRET Ver. 6.7"
LAB2 = "NOAA/PMEL TMAP"
LAB3 = "05-APR-2011 09:39:26"
LAB4 = "LONGITUDE : 179E"
LABNUM_X = "4"
LAB5 = "LATITUDE : 1S"
LABNUM_Y = "5"
LAB6 = "DATA SET: coads_climatology"
LABNUM_DSET = "6"
LAB7 = ""
LABNUM_DATITL = "7"
LABY = "Deg C"
LABTIT = "SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE (Deg C)"



So that you can control the labels on a plot, for instance,

  fill/set var
    go remove_logo
    IF ($labnum_x"0|*>1") THEN go unlabel ($labnum_x)
    IF ($labnum_dset"0|*>1") THEN go unlabel ($labnum_dset)
  ppl fill


This capability is not yet in the documentation, but is available in the 
last couple of Ferret releases. The full list of these symbols is:

LABNUM_X
LABNUM_Y
LABNUM_Z
LABNUM_T
LABNUM_DSET
LABNUM_ASPECT
LABNUM_YEAR
LABNUM_DATITL
LABNUM_OFFSET
LABNUM_DODS
LABNUM_CALEND
