Hi Tony, There should be an "xskip, yskip" option available to you on the Options panel that controls this. I believe you can set a default for it in the LAS configuration XML. With regard to Ferret if you use the /set_up qualifier, then you'll need to issue the "skip" options on the PPL VECTOR command that follows. This is discussed under the VECTOR/SET_UP option in the Users Guide (http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/documentation/users-guide/commands-reference/VECTOR%20) - Steve ====================================================================== Tony Jolibois wrote: Re-re-hi, -- Steve Hankin, NOAA/PMEL -- Steven.C.Hankin@xxxxxxxx 7600 Sand Point Way NE, Seattle, WA 98115-0070 ph.
