Hi -You could leave the grid as is, and set the format of tic labels to show enough digits, for instance
shade/set var ppl xfor (f9.0) ppl yfor (f9.0) ppl shade or using scientific notation shade/set var ppl xfor (e10.2) ppl yfor (e10.2) ppl shadeYou might need to make bigger margins to make room for these labels (see the script "go margins")
The other option would be to redefine your axes in terms of Km and regrid the variables to the new axes. See "DEFINE AXIS/FROM_DATA" where for instance the X coordinates converted to Km would be,
