Can anyone tell me how to make the following adjustments to my plot ? :
1. How do I put the x-axis title "Latitude (degrees)" in between
the bottom of the plot and the color bar, rather than at the very
bottom of the entire plot ? (right now the x-axis title is labeling
the wrong thing ! ).
2. I want to put units into the title. If I want to make the units
meters per second, for example, and I want to use a superscript, so
it says "m s-1" rather than "m/s" , how can I do this ?.
(note that I cannot write m s-1 properly in this email message, for
the same reason that I cannot write this properly in the title).
3. I want units next to the color bar. Worse still, I want to be able
to put units with a superscript next to the color bar. In other
words, I want to be able to put something like "m s-1" (written in
superscript form) next to the numbers on the color bar, so that
people know what the numbers on the color bar are.
I am enclosing a sample plot, and the script I used to create it (in
this case for temperature, but I have wind plots too).
Thanks,
Helen.
