Hi,
Our upcoming Ferret release will make the labeling and drawing overlays on Time plots work much better. It's always been necessary to do lots of work to overlay on a time-axis plot, but this is much improved with the Ferret v7. Drawing the color-key lines does not work correctly prior to Ferret v7.The "ANNOTATE" command, which is in the current Ferret release, v696, also makes adding labels to the plot much easier.
...
yes? plot/nolabel/color=purple/thick pr1
yes? plot/nolabel/color=green/thick pr2 ! (lines 2 and 3 not drawn above)
yes? plot/nolabel/color=red/thick pr3
! Set up time locations for locating key and labels
yes? LET t0 = tt[T="10-DEC-2009"@itp]
yes? LET t1 = tt[T="15-NOV-2009"@itp]
yes? LET t2 = tt[T="15-NOV-2009"@itp]
! Set Y locations for key lines, as a fraction the range of the Y axis that was plotted.
yes? let y1 = (($yaxis_max) - ($yaxis_min))*0.9
!-> DEFINE VARIABLE y1 = (320.0000 - 0.000000)*0.9
yes? let y2 = (($yaxis_max) - ($yaxis_min))*0.85
!-> DEFINE VARIABLE y2 = (320.0000 - 0.000000)*0.85
yes? let y3 = (($yaxis_max) - ($yaxis_min))*0.8
!-> DEFINE VARIABLE y3 = (320.0000 - 0.000000)*0.8
! Draw legend lines. The coordinates are in the same units as the line plot.
yes? plot/over/vs/nolabel/line/color=purple/thick {`t0`,`t1`},{`y1`,`y1`}
!-> plot/over/vs/nolabel/line/color=purple/thick {262464,261864},{288,288}
yes? plot/over/vs/nolabel/line/color=green/thick {`t0`,`t1`},{`y2`,`y2`}

!-> plot/over/vs/nolabel/line/color=red/thick {262464,261864},{256,256}
! Now use "ANNOTATE/NORM" to add labels. /NORM locates the labels relative to
! the box made by the plot axes.

Hi,
The ERROR is because there needs to be a space between the 15 and the _expression_ in { }.
For your LABEL commands, are you drawing the key with colored lines? You may be able to use one of the 'legend' or 'legline' scripts.
yes? go /help legend
Full path name: /home/users/tmap/ferret/x86_64-linux/contrib/legend.jnl
\cancel mode verify
! Contributed by Hein Zelle, 11-December-2003
! Run test_legend.jnl for an example which calls this script.
...
! go legend line# title [location]
!
! where location is one of ul, ur, ll or lr
! default location is ul
So the script will draw a legend line in one corner of your viewport. Run the script "go test_legend" which demonstrates it.
There is also an FAQ which shows an example, ../../faq/working-with-the-legend-on-a-line-plot

Hi,
Computation of an annual cycle is done in Ferret with "modulo regridding" operations, and our terminology for this is "climatologies". Here is an FAQ about that,
../../faq/how-do-i-calculate-climatologies-and-climatological-anomalies
As a general suggestion, when writing a script, it's a good idea to plot things separately, and with default settings, before putting everything together for your final script. For instance, your script has these lines:
plot/vlimits=-2.5:2.5:0.5/nolabel/line=8 pr1[d=1]*30but those commands are returning a blank plot. so, try the plot commands separately,
plot/level=(0,600,30)(inf)/vlimits=-2.5:2.5:0.5/over/nolabel/line=14 pr2[gt=pr1@asn]*30
plot/level=(0,600,30)(inf)/vlimits=-2.5:2.5:0.5/over/nolabel/line=15 pr3[gt=pr1@asn]*30
plot pr1[d=1]*30; pauseNow you may start to see what is happening with the definition of the variables and the plot commands. Once you have the definitions right, then put them together with overlaying and different colors, and work with labeling etc to get the final plot.
plot pr2[gt=pr1@asn]*30; pause
plot pr3[gt=pr1@asn]*30; pause
(By the way, the /LEVEL qualifier is for setting color levels on a color fill plot. It can be used on a 1-D "plot" command, but only when you are coloring the line according to some second quantity. See RIBBON plots, ../../documentation/users-guide/commands-reference/PLOT#_PLOT_RIBBON)

Dear FerretersI want to plot annual cycles like the ones below. These ones are examples are copied from some online sources. I am using this script attached but only getting empty space figure also attached. I have used this http://www.precisrcm.com/GRACE/KL_worksheets/worksheet_KL_2a.html to calculate annual cycel before plotting in ferret but gets empty space. Could someone show me how to go about this. The data am using is monthly data in kg/m2/s2
