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



Hi -
There's an FAQ on this, controlling the size of GIF output,
http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/faq/controlling-the-size-of-gif-output

Take note that you need to start Ferret with the -gif flag:

  % ferret -gif

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,
