Re: [ferret_users] Setting shade palette then using PPL

[Paul Goddard <pgoddard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Judy,

You'll need to add "set" to your first line:
shade/set/pal=blue_red_centered.spk/lev=(-inf)(-6)(-5,5,0.5)/nol temdiff

Adding set seems to let Ferret know that there will be a list of ppl commands to follow. Then you end your code with "ppl shade" to let Ferret know you are all done with ppl commands and it is time to plot.

There are many ppl commands to help customize figures. see, http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/documentation/users-guide/appendix-c-ferret-specific-pplus-enhancements/ENHANCED-COMMANDS-DESCRIPTION

Best,

Paul

Hi,

  This is my code, and I am wondering how to set the palette so my PPL SHADE

command uses the proper palette:

shade/pal=blue_red_centered.spk/lev=(-inf)(-6)(-5,5,0.5)/nol temdiff

ppl hlabs 1,.18

ppl rlabs 1,0

ppl shade

This is inherited code and I'm not 100% sure -- other than specifying the labels

with ppl, why ppl shade is necessary, but when I execute it, the ppl shade uses the default ferret color palette..

Thanks for any help!
