Re: line label density

Hi Mike-
Perhaps you can use example 12 from the XY plots like this:

 1. plot the lines without labels,
 2. then draw a segment of the line, say to the right with labels. I would imagine you will have to do some trial and error to only get one label per line.

Hello-

I'm wondering if there's a resource for controlling the number of line
labels on an xy plot. I'm using:

    res@xyLabelMode = "Custom"
    res@xyExplicitLabels = (/"0-1 km","0-3 km","0-6 km","0-8 km","3-8 km"/)

which results in the attached plot. The labels are drawn 3-4 times per
line, but I want only one label per line. I looked for a
"xyLineLabelDensityF" resource, or something like that, and couldn't
find one.

Thanks,
Mike
