Hi,

I see what you described in the original question when running Ferret v6.93 but not v7.0.  If you upgrade your regular Ferret, I think your script will work.

If you install PyFerret, then your Ferret commands, such as all of the graphics commands, viewports, and so on will work as always. There are a few additions in the graphics commands. Here are some commands to start with (see http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/documentation/pyferret/pyferret-quick-start-notes/ for details)

yes? set text/font=arial
yes? use etopo20
yes? fill/x=40:120/y=-20:50/lev=vc rose
yes? frame/format=ps/file=fillplot.ps

The lines and text already will be somewhat thicker than with the postscript that Ferret writes.

If you want to thicken the text and lines more, you could start with something like this.  SET WINDOW/THICKEN makes all of the lines thicker; the SET TEXT command has options for bold and larger sizing, and it can be applied with particular settings to different text groupings; here to make the colorbar labels larger.

yes? set win/thicken=3
yes? set text/font=arial/bold
yes? set text/font=arial/bold/isiz=3 cbar
yes? use etopo20
yes? fill/x=40:120/y=-20:50/lev=vc rose

Hi,

I tried your script using generic datasets that are available with Ferret.  The behavior looks the same when using both SHADE and FILL. What version of Ferret are you running?  The only addition I would make to your script is to issue a PPL CLSPLT command after all of the drawing commands and before you run gksm2ps. 

Please have a look at this FAQ for techniques to customize the line thickness in ps files:
changing line thickness in PostScript files

Also I recommend that you run PyFerret if possible.  PyFerret has much more control over the line thickness in addition to nice-looking fonts.
