Re: [ferret_users] help

Hi George,

The error you get comes from the fact you try to plot a 3D variable into a 2D plot (and it tells you it doesnt have enough memory to read all at once). You need to fix or specify one of the direction at least.

For instance, if you want to plot the first day of your precipitation field, you should add "L=1" in the fill command:

fill/L=1 PRECIP

You can also average all the days if you prefer to fill the mean precipitation (L=@ave) fix I or J direction of course.

Best;

Nicolas

Dear All,
Ferret version v6.93 is installed in my machine. When I try to plot data, a white empty space appears and I get the error below...
This could memory issue. I have tried fixing but I cant.
My machine is 64bit OS,and ubuntu version 14.04. I have installed SPM and using both vim and gedit text editors.
