Re: [ferret_users] Strange behaviour of ANNOTATE with non ascii fonts

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

Hi Martin,

The ANNOTATE command works only after a plot has been drawn.  It locates the text relative to the plot axes.  SET WINDOW and SET VIEW define a drawing space but a plot command is need to set up the axes. (It talks to the graphics commands just the way PPL LABEL does.) To make a blank plot with text only you could draw a plot with nothing on it, such as

yes? plot/noax/nolab/hlim=-1:1/vlim=-1:1 {-100,-100}, {100,100}

We'll add this detail to the documentation.
