Re: [ferret_users] Significant digits on shade key

["Ansley C. Manke" <ansley.b.manke@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jerome,

The change was an effort to use a more consistent format for the numbers on the colorbar key and to line them up more consistently. bit as we see, it isn't really doing that either. I agree that the new formatting isn't particularly better than the old.

You might look at,

   ppl shakey 1,1,,,-2

for a more consistent result, with 2 decimal places after the decimal point.  There is not any syntax available to get back to the previous key format, but I've added this to our list of items to look into.

Hi,

In previous versions of Ferret, the command:

shade/leve=(0)(.1)(.16)(.25)(.4)(.63)(1)(1.6)(2.5)(4)(6.3)(10)(16)

would by default result in a key displayed with 2 significant digits (see attached figure LogScale_Old.png).

In the latest version of Ferret, it seems that the default for the key is now 2 decimal places (see attached figure Log_Scale_New.png).

I tried changing the klab_dig value using ppl shakey command:

ppl shakey 1,1,,,2

but was unsuccessful in recreating the old key labeling with 2 significant digit.

Any suggestions on how to recover the old key format would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!
