[gradsusr] tildes

[Ricardo Hallak]

Hi again, Alan.

It is possible to save a "txt" file in the system and "read" a string from the file from the disk to write it in a figure. 

Example:

Criate an file with this content:

"Niño niño Niña niña"

When necessary, read the file with your GrADS script and get the string you want, once that string 1 = Niño, string 2 = niño, and so on.

Maybe this can solve your problem if you handle strings appropriately.

Hope this helps,
Ricardo

| Hi, Alan.
| 
| If I correctly remember, there was a way to do that. In older
| versions of GrADS, it was possible for a user to create a new set of
| characters. Unfortunatelly I can't help you with that, once I've
| never done it. Besides, I'm not sure if it is possible with new
| versios of GrADS.
| 
| Is there someone in the list who has any experience in creating a new
| set of characteres in GrADS?
| 
| Regards,
| Ricardo

| | Dear Ricardo,
| | 
| | Yes, I know how to do that, but I was wondering if there is a font
| | that
| | includes letters from other alphabets that include tildes and
| | accent
| | marks, so they do not have to be done manually.   Thanks.
