Re: [ferret_users] Ferret plot legend + line control



Hi,
Well, this is a little convoluted, but I have a method.  The existing automated methods are not that flexible just because they're automatic.

First get the common vertical limits from a plot of all the variables.

use "http://apdrc.soest.hawaii.edu:80/dods/public_data/satellite_product/Ifremer/daily_flux"
 plot/nolab/line/sym sst[x=60,y=-30,l=3600:3670],airt[x=60,y=-30,l=3600:3670],sst[x=65,y=-30,l=3600:3670],airt[x=65,y=-30,l=3600:3670],sst[x=70,y=-30,l=3600:3670],airt[x=70,y=-30,l=3600:3670]
let ymin = ($yaxis_min)
let ymax =($yaxis_max)

Now plot each line with a desired symbol and color, and make the legend.  To use the legend.jnl script with legend line number 2, 3, 4, just list the variable multiple times in the plot command.

plot/set/vlim=`ymin`:`ymax`/nolab/line/sym=18/color=black  sst[x=60,y=-30,l=3600:3670]
go legend 1 sst60
ppl plot

 plot/over/set/vlim=`ymin`:`ymax`/nolab/line/sym=20/color=red airt[x=60,y=-30,l=3600:3670],airt[x=60,y=-30,l=3600:3670]
go legend 2 "airt60"
ppl plot/over

plot/over/set/vlim=`ymin`:`ymax`/nolab/line/sym=22/color=blue sst[x=65,y=-30,l=3600:3670],sst[x=65,y=-30,l=3600:3670],sst[x=65,y=-30,l=3600:3670]
go legend 3 sst65
ppl plot/over
And so forth.

Dear ferreters,
                      I am in a situation similar to the example below where I need to add legends of my choice to my line graphs. If I run below code I will get legend with default colours of lines chosen by ferret ie sst60 with black line airt60 with red and sst65 with green color etc etc.
and legends will be created accordingly.

However I need to fix black color for sst and red color for Airt and then have different symbols for distinguishing between different longitudes and legends should appear accordingly.
Please share if any one know how to achieve this.

use "http://apdrc.soest.hawaii.edu:80/dods/public_data/satellite_product/Ifremer/daily_flux"
plot/set/lin sst[x=60,y=-30,l=3600:3670],airt[x=60,y=-30,l=3600:3670],sst[x=65,y=-30,l=3600:3670],airt[x=65,y=-30,l=3600:3670],sst[x=70,y=-30,l=3600:3670],airt[x=70,y=-30,l=3600:3670]
go legend 1 sst60
go legend 2 airt60
go legend 3 sst65
go legend 4 airt65
go legend 5 sst70
go legend 6 airt70
ppl plot


with best regards
