Re: [ferret_users] 2nd Y-scale/lablel color?

The label and axis colors are controled by pen 0.  If you
change that one, you'll see the effect.

 ppl pen 0,6
 plot /x=-100:100 sin(x/100)

That makes them all purple.  It becomes easy if you combine this with 

http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/faq/how-can-i-draw-a-second-vertical-axis-on-a-contour-plot

ppl pen,0,1
ppl axset,1,1,1,0
plot /x=-100:100 sin(x/10)
plot /over/col=6 /x=-100:100 cos(x/10)
ppl pen,0,6
ppl %yaxis 0,60,5,100,1,2,1,+1

I get confused when trying to put the second plot command after ppl
%yaxis command: ferret uses the new yaxis but it seems to use the old
vlimits.  Someone else can probably explain how to do that.

Kind regards,
