Re: [ferret_users] transect wrong direction of label



Hi Marco

Thank you for writing back.

When the plot axes are labeled with degrees longitude or latitude, the numbers on the plot axis will always be a positive number, so if the coordinate values are -150, -140, -130, and you ask for LONW then the coordinates will be shown as -150W = 150E, and so forth.

Hello,

Answering myself, I found the problem.  Before rendering the figure, I
did the following for the purpose of presenting only integer numbers:

     PPL XFOR (i5, ''LON'')
     PPL XFOR (i5, ''LONW'')

Both these commands showed °E where the longitude was negative and
should have been °W.  If I do this:

     PPL XFOR (i5, ''LONE'')

it shows °W.  I cannot say I understand it, but herein lied the problem.
