Re: [ferret_users] Ribbon plot key



Hi Nandini,
When you do a plot/ribbon/set, and make pplus calls to customize the plot, then finish with "PPL RIBBON". For instance to locate the key above the plot:
use coads_climatology
ribbon/thick/Y=0/L=6/set sst, speh
  ppl shakey,1,0
ppl ribbon
and all the various SHAKEY settings should work as always. Our apologies for the omission in the documentation.  We'll get that added.


Note that starting with Ferret v6.93 there's some basic control of the color key using /KEY=keyword  on the plot command itself, for RIBBON and FILL and all the commands that have a color key
http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/documentation/release-notes/version-6-93-release-notes

RIBBON/KEY=CONTINUOUS

Chooses a continuous color key for the palette used in a color-filled contour plot, without lines separating the colors. This option is particularly good for fill plots having many levels.

RIBBON/KEY=HORIZONTAL

Draws a horizontal key just above a color fill plot.

RIBBON/KEY=CENTERLAB
Labels the color key in the colored sections of the key rather than at the default location at the line dividing one color from the next. The levels controls do not change for this style, only the locations of the labels on the key.

Hi, 

I am trying to find a way to control the position and size of the colorbar that comes with "ribbon" plots (i.e., using plot/ribbon/vs). I found nothing that helped with this in the documentation.

When I use the shade or fill commands, is use the qualifier /set_up, followed by a line using ppl shakey, and then ppl shade or fill (as shown in the documentation here: http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/faq/modifying-the-shade-key). I tried using this, followed by "ppl plot", but it does not make a colorbar appear. I also tried changing it to "ppl shade" and "ppl fill", but these did not work either. 

Has anyone found a way to adjust the colorbar with ribbon plots?

Thank you very much, 
Nandini
