Re: [ferret_users] difference in on-screen and saved postscript output

[Yogesh Tiwari <yogesh.mpi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Ansley,

Problem solved.

Yours second option worked, white line was giving trouble. I checked with black line and it was fine in postscript file.

I gave a search in ferret emails and found an answere by Billy K. dated 3rd May 2005.

The detailed solution is :

If white line is not appearing in the postscript file then redifine the color:


ppl color, 6,100,100,100

plot/color=12/nolab/ov  var


This will redefine color 6 (magenta) to be white and white line will appear in the ouput postscript file.

Many thanks once again,

Regards,
Yogesh

Hi Yogesh,
I can't run your script, because you use your own local data files. I
don't see anything wrong with it, but if you can make us an example with
datasets that are included with Ferret, we could test it. I have a
couple of ideas for you to try:

1) Run ferret with the startup option -batch. You will need to comment
out the metafile and Fprint commands in your script, then
     > ferret -batch out.ps
     yes? go script.jnl

2) or, test and see if the white line is what is causing the trouble.  I
was able to run a similar script, and the white line shows up fine, but
as a test, you should draw it in another color and see if it shows up in
the postscript.  For example you might try

  plot/color=black/thick/dash/nolab/ov ...

If this is the case, you could hunt for "white line" in the Users List
archives and see if there are any suggestions.
