Hi FiSSEHA,

That is easily done using the "ppl xfor" and "ppl yfor" commands.

For example

use etopo5

shade/nolab/nokey/pal=dark_land_sea/lev=(-10000,10000,500)(-500,500,100)/x=180:182/y=-2:2 topo

makes a chart with decimal points in the axis values, but

ppl xfor,(i3,''lone'') ; ppl yfor,(i2,''lat'') ; ppl shade

redraws it with integer axis values. NOTE THAT IN THE PPL COMMANDS '' IS TWO SINGLE QUOTES IN SUCCESSION.

Good luck,

Mick

Dear Ferreters,

 

May some one help me with how to handle the precision of the label on an axis? For example, I have a figure where the latitude ranges from 0 to 10 N. I want label at 0,5, and 10 N. What I am getting is 0.0,5.0 N and 10.0 N. How can I change them to 0,5 N and 10 N?

 

Thank you
