I wanted to thicken the plot using "ppl pen 0,7". This is not effective in combination with the mode GRATICULE or plot/grat option. But i need plot thickening as well as graticule. Jnl file and Figure as follows. Hope somebody will repond, who overcame this problem. Thanks in advance.

ppl pen 0,7
use coads_climatology
plot/line/thickness=2/vgrat=(line,color=blue) sst[x=60, y=15]

The plot has thickened lines on the vertical axis and most of the labels, but the horizontal axis lines and labels are drawn with a thin line.

There are many examples of manually specified PLOT+ commands that are over-ridden by Ferret's automation. The work-around that (I think) is discussed in the Users Guide (somewhere) is to use the /SET_UP qualifier. Does that not apply here?

use coads_climatology
plot/SET_UP/line/thickness=2/vgrat=(line,color=blue) sst[x=60, y=15]
ppl pen 0,7
ppl plot

No, this does not work here, but still reproduces the buggy plot. The graticule setting is overriding the thick pen that's been requested by PPL pen 0,7. The standard thin pen is being substituted, only for the horizontal axis where the graticule lines are drawn.

This is fixed; it applies to Ferret only, not Pyferret, though code changes were merged to the Pyferret branch.
