Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
Is there a way I can include the degree symbol in the Y1 label on
METviewer? For instance, I would like to have the following:
oF
instead of just F or oF. But I can't figure out how to change the o as
a superscript, if I do the latter. I tried copying and pasting the
above, but that did not work either.
Thanks,
Annette

Hello Annette,
We've asked Tatiana Burek, the main developer of METviewer, to take a
look
at this issue. But she's out of town through Friday, 9/20. So I did
some
testing myself and wasn't able to get the superscripts to work either.
I did some googling and found that it's handled in R using the
"expression()" function. For example, if you run R on the command
line and
make a plot, you do get a superscript:
*R*
*plot(rnorm(30), xlab = expression('Temp '^o*'F')) *
But the Y1 label entry from the METviewer GUI is passed directly to
the
plotting function and not wrapped in a call to expression.
There is a way you can insert commands directly into the Rscript via
the
METviewer GUI. On the "Formatting" tab there is a box labelled "Plot
Script Commands". Setting that to the following:
mtext(expression('Temp '^o*'F'), side=2)
Adds the label with the superscript but its not oriented in the right
direction.
We'll need to ask Tatiana about the prospect of updating METviewer to
wrap
all labels with a call to "expression".
Thanks,
John

Hi John,
OK, thanks for looking into this option. I will just use "F" for now
and if Tatiana does make the change you suggest below, please let me
know.
Thank you,

Annette,
OK, I created this GitHub issue to track this feature request:
https://github.com/NCAR/METviewer/issues/153
However, we are beginning the transition from METviewer making plot in
R to
plotting with Python. Given that change, it may be better to just
make
sure that it works in python.
I'll go ahead and resolve this ticket. But feel free to let us know
what
other issues or questions arise.
Thanks,
John

Annette,
You can include the degree symbol into the title and/or axis label as
a Unicode character.
For example
° = \U00B0
F = \U0046
To use "Temp °F" as a label for Y1 axis put
Temp \U00B0\U0046
into Y1 label text field.
Here is the web site with Unicode symbols:
