Re: [ferret_users] setting ivetor skip



Hi Sudheer,

In the documentation about VECTOR/SET, you'll see this - the second paragraph talks about VECTOR/SET and the skip qualifiers.

VECTOR/SET_UP
Performs all the internal preparations required by program Ferret for vector plots but does not actually render output. The command PPL can then be used to make changes to the plot prior to producing output with the PPL VECTOR command. This permits plot customizations that are not possible with Ferret command qualifiers. See the chapter "Customizing Plots".

Note that when the /SETUP qualifier is used the /XSKIP and /YSKIP qualifiers are ignored. In this case, use arguments to the PPL VECTOR command to achieve the thinning.

PPL VECTOR/qualifiers,xskip,yskip

Then there's an example:
yes? USE coads_climatology
yes? VECTOR/SET uwnd,vwnd
yes? PPL axset,1,1,0,0
yes? PPL VECTOR,3,4  ! specifies XSKIP=3 and YSKIP=4

yes? ! If it were an overlay plot, that would be PPL VECTOR/OVER,3,4
So you need to put the skip values on the PPL VECTOR command.

Dear users,
                          I am facing an issue below while making vector plot. If I use vector/xskip=10/yskip=10 it works where as if I use vec/set/xskip=10/yskip=10 it do not. 

use monthly_navy_winds
vec /set/l=1 uwnd,vwnd
ppl vector

++++it produces a graph with all vectors plotted

vec /set/l=1/xskip=10/yskip=10 uwnd,vwnd
ppl vector

++++It produce the same graph as above

++++ but If I uses 
vec /l=1/xskip=10/yskip=10 uwnd,vwnd

++++it skips the vectors !! 
Why is this strange behavior ?
