Re: [ferret_users] How to max up the window size?

["Yu, Hao-Cheng" <danish.url@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Sergei,

I remember I ask similar question before in the forum.

For the output size of image, use postscript format and convert it for a large one would be a better solution than gif file (size is limited in ferret).

For margin adjust, you can use /set, then try "go margins" to adjust margins around the figure.

Like,

plot/set xxx

go margins 0.2 " " " " " "  ! adjust margins at above 

ppl plot

Hope this helps.

Subject: How to max up the window size?

Dear Ferret Users, 

I am new to Ferret  and I have to ask this simple question.

 

I do frames with Ferret that will be used for animation in Google Earth. For that I need larger size images (at least 1000x500, the larger the better)  in simple cylindrical projection (a.k.a. Plate Ceree). 

However, I can not change the window size, and consequently, my output GIFs by varying the SIZE parameter beyond 1.0:

set WINDOW/SIZE=1.0

and

set WINDOW/SIZE=10.0 

give me the same pixels.

In the same time, modification of ASPECT changes the picture. 

I understand that 

go mp_aspect 

overrides my setting for WINDOW and I don't use go mp_aspect 

Another possibility is to make margins smaller and to fill the window tight with image. At this point I have pretty considerable (and useless for my goal) margins.

Please help. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you,
