Hi Karen,

These sets of symbols such as Cartographic, Math, etc, are not available for PLOT/VS but are only for use in labels. That's the case for both PyFerret and classic Ferret. I think your best option would be to look at the PyFerret named symbols, and perhaps experiment with defining your own custom symbol, which is described just below that section. You make a little file with the shape defined, and then call that file by naming it.

I've added a couple of notes to https://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/documentation/users-guide/ferret-fonts/list-of-ferret-fonts to clarify this.

Hi Everyone

I use to plot location of points on maps using commands such as

plot/vs/ov/symbol=18 lon,lat

Using the "traditional" symbols proposed by ferret (cf figure attached).

In pyferret, I have seen that there are some extra symbols that can be used

https://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/documentation/users-guide/ferret-fonts/list-of-ferret-fonts

However I do not understand how to apply these ones to a simple command line like mine. For instance, if I want to use the symbol "36" from the Symbol Font Map, how do I do?

Thank you for your time

Karen
