Re: [ferret_users] Decimal digits on a plot axis

[William Kessler <william.s.kessler@xxxxxxxx>]

This is controlled by PPL XFOR and YFOR:
 
In each plot panel:
 
PLOT/SET ....
PPL XFOR,(f5.2); PPL YFOR,(...)   ! fortran-style formats
PPL PLOT
 
You can also control lat/lon labels this way (for example to force these if the data is not on a lat-lon grid but it should be):
 
PPL YFOR,(i5,''lat'')   ! force integer labels
PPL YFOR,(f5.1,''lon'')   ! single decimal label; I think you must allow for 5 digits
 
In the above, those are two single quotes around lat and lon, not a double quote as my mail tool thinks I want!
 
Using the two-single-quote method you can add other things, for example ''#C'' etc. Search the documentation for XFOR and YFOR.
