Re: [ferret_users] Decimal digits on a colour key bar

Hi,

You need the SHAKEY command, which allows us to set the features of the colorbar including its location and labeling.

../../documentation/users-guide/appendix-c-ferret-specific-pplus-enhancements/ENHANCED-COMMANDS-DESCRIPTION.html#_VPINDEXENTRY_2079

It's a PPLUS customization command so you issue the plotting command with /SET, then the PPL SHAKEY command, and then PPL FILL to finish drawing the plot. Something like this should work:

fill/palette= /levels= /set var
ppl shakey,1,1,0,0,-2
ppl fill

I've used values for the first four arguments there, to choose the default settings but make it easier to read, and the fourth argument chooses 2 decimal places to be used in the labels. You could alternatively work with the 5th argument.

Hello ferreters,

Can someone suggest to me how to control the decimal digits on a colour key bar (see attached)? In other words, I'd like to have 0.00, 0.05, 0.10 instead of having 0.000, 0.050, 0.100.

Thanks,

Claude-Michel
