Re: [ferret_users] how to modify the label color with the use of set text command

[Karl Smith - NOAA Affiliate <karl.smith@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Saurabh,

The '@...' text modifiers are only recognized by Ferret/PyFerret when using the traditional Ferret font (the Hershey font). When using system fonts with PyFerret, use the 'SET TEXT /COLOR=...' command to assign the color to use for text to be plotted. See:../../documentation/users-guide/commands-reference/SET.html#_SETTEXT

Kindregards,

Karl

Dear Ferreters,

G'day

I am struggling to modify the color of the label while I am using "set text" command. On the use of "set text" command, I am unable to modify the "pen color" for the labels. here is my script to have a look.

set text/font=helvetica/isiz=-1.2/bold

use coads_climatology

let var1=sst[x=85,y=16]
let var2=sst[x=40,y=-10]
let var3=sst[x=-120,y=10]

set mode linecolors:18
set mode linecolors:20

plot/thick=3/axes/set/nolab/nokey/vlimits=25:30:.5/nolab/nokey/col=1 var1
ppl color,18,30,40,80
ppl color,20,99,40,40
ppl axlsze .12,.12
ppl txlsze .12
ppl plot
plot/ov/thick=3/col=18 var2
plot/ov/thick=3/col=20
