Hi, When making a set of plots on a page, it's usually best to leave
off most of the labels. You don't want the labels for dataset,
variable name, and so forth repeated for each plot. All of the
automatically-generated labels are good for exploring data, so
that everything is automatically on the page, but for making a
final plot, a lot of simplification is needed. What I do is to use shade/nolabel in such a script, and then add
the labels I do want with separate commands. The ANNOTATE command
,
http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/documentation/users-guide/commands-reference/annotate,
makes it easy to locate labels relative to the plot box in each
viewport. Run the script "go annotate_demo" for an introduction
to this command if you don't know it. use coads_climatology There's a lot more you could do: - Once the labels are taken off, you don't need all that white space around the edges, so defining custom viewports with DEFINE VIEWPORT would make for better spacing. Look at DEFINE VIEWPORT/AXES - When the same variable is plotted in multiple panels, it helps in comparing the data to use use a set of common color levels. In this case a single colorbar makes for a much better plot. (Here your standard deviation plot would need it's own levels of course). There's a thread here about that: http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/maillists/tmap/ferret_users/fu_2000/msg00225.html although the shakey command for the common colorbar may need some tweaking. When I drew it, it was too wide, so I used, ppl shakey 1 1 .12 1 3 9 `($ppl$xlen)+1.2+.5` `($ppl$xlen)+1.2+.8` 1.4 `1.4+3*($ppl$ylen)+2.25` On 1/26/2017 9:16 AM, Ge Peng - NOAA
