<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Balazs,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">I think the reason your labels are wrong is because the titles have colons (:) in them. In NCL versions 6.0.0 and earlier, the ":" character is a special character called a "function code" that allows you to format strings to contain superscripts, subscripts, etc. If you try to use a colon as part of a label anywhere on your plot, you will get gibberish like what you saw.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">You can change your NCL environment so that a different character, like a tilde (~), is the function code. This will then allow you to have labels with colons in them.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">If you think this is something that you always want to have changed when you run NCL, then you can create a file called ".hluresfile" that resides in your home directory, that contains this line:</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style>
<p class="" style="font-size:small">*TextFuncCode : ~ </p><p class="" style="font-size:small">If you already have a ".hluresfile" in your home directory, then just add this line to the file wherever you like.</p>
<p class="" style="font-size:small">For more information, see:<br></p><p class="" style><a href="http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Graphics/hlures.shtml">http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Graphics/hlures.shtml</a><br></p><p class="" style>
If you upgrade to NCL Version 6.1.0 or higher, then the default function code is a tilde. In this case, then, you won't need a ".hluresfile" to change it.</p><p class="" style>--Mary</p><p class="" style="font-size:small">
