Re: [ferret_users] shakey: number format
Hi Emilie,
The command syntax for ppl shakey is (see Appendix C Sec2.12)
SHAKEY do_key, orient, klab_siz, klab_inc, klab_dig, klab_len, kx_lo,
kx_hi, ky_lo, ky_hi
Hence to control the number format on key labels,
the fifth argument "klab_dig" should be -1 for xx.x
-2 for xx.xx
-3 for xx.xxx
and so on.
Important point : PPL SHAKEY should be used between a fill or shade
command with /SET qualifier and "PPL FILL" or "PPL SHADE"
Please see the example below.
Hope this helps,
Jaison
!---------shakey example------------------------
use levitus_climatology
set reg/x=30:120/y=-30:30/k=1
define view/xlim=0:0.9/ylim=0:1 v1 ;set view v1
fill/lev=(12,30,1) temp
pause
! 1 decimal place : bigger font size
fill/lev=(12,30,1)/set temp
ppl shakey 1,1,0.12,2,-1 ! other arguments set to default
ppl fill
pause
! 2 decimal place : bigger font size
fill/lev=(12,30,1)/set temp
ppl shakey 1,1,0.12,2,-2
ppl fill
pause
! 3 decimal place : bigger font size
fill/lev=(12,30,1)/set temp
ppl shakey 1,1,0.12,2,-3,
ppl fill
