mtext ( macro/python ) ptext(fortran)
Magics can plot text anywhere on a page, the default position is above the plot, on top of any eventual legend.
The text can be formatted using basic html format such as <font colour='red' > My red text </font>
Example of Tags | |
---|---|
<magics_title/> | create an automatic title that contains the major information from the data (parameter, valid-date,level, centre ...) |
<grib_info key='shortName"/> | extract the grib_api key shortName from the grib and replace the tag by its value. |
<grib_info key='level" where='shortName=t'/> | extract level from the grib that verify the criteria "shortName=t'. This is useful for avoiding multiple title lines when overlaying data. |
<grib_info key='valid-date' format='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:00'/> | build the validity date for the grib, applying the specified format |
<netcdf_info variable='var 'attribute='title' default='unknown'/> | use the value of the attribute title from the variable var if exists or use the default |

What is the main text the text_line_*_ratios are referring to?
Hans de Vries
Apparently Metview 5.1.1 does not even know the text_line_space_ratio...
Sylvie Lamy-Thepaut
This is an very old Magics parameter, from the fortran version.
This idea was to set the font_size for your text, and make use use of the ratio parameter to get one line smaller or larger .
You can now use the html tag <font/> to change the size of your text, making these parameters quite obsolete.
