[ncl-talk] Printing the +- sign on a plot in NCL

[Ehsan Taghizadeh]

Hello Dr. Tabish,

I came across a few lines from the eqn_3.ncl example on the NCL Applications page (https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/eqn.shtml) that demonstrate how to plot a - over +.I thought you might find it relevant or useful.

txres = True
txres at txFuncCode = ":"
gsn_text_ndc(wks,":F34:t",.6,.8,txres)

 Dear NCL folks,
I'm posting here after a long time, partly because I've gotten better at using NCL over the years and partly because nowadays the AI LLMs are able to answer most of my queries on NCL and solve the errors. However, I finally have a question at which all the LLMs failed: How do I print the +- sign (+ on top of -) in an NCL plot? What's the appropriate function code to use inside the string?
Thank you very much in advance!
best regards,
Tabish
