Hi Jimmy,
Another thing you could look at, to decimate the data along some
direction, is striding when you read the data, if it's in a netCDF
file. If you're using Ferret v6.02 or higher, there's simple syntax
which changes the way the axis appears to be defined for the entire
Ferret session, see strides in the documentation.
Or, with any version of Ferret, if you have a variable on an x axis,
you can specify strides as follows (see "strides, netCDF discussion" in
the Users Guide index)
yes? use my_data.nc
yes? let nx = `var,return=isize`
yes? plot/dash var[i=1:`nx`:10]

All-
I have a stretched grid in the x direction. I am using the plot
commands. I was trying to make a series of overlays of 1 variable. The
problems are:
1. dashed lines don't work because of the variable grid spacing
(primarily because the spacing is so small that the dashes overlap);
2. symbols gave the same problem.
Is there a way, besides regridding to a regular axis, to skip points on
the x axis using plot? or even to control how often the symbols appear?
Does plot have something similar to x and yskip in vector?
Thanks for any insight.
