Bernard,
The description of GRIDAL's internal parameter 'WLB' is as follows:
The line width to be used for drawing labels. (Labels drawn using calls to
the PLOTCHAR routine PLCHHQ are affected by this; those drawn using calls
to the SPPS routine WTSTR are not.) A value less than or equal to zero
implies that no change is to be made in the line width scale factor before
drawing the labels. The default value of 'WLB' is 0; its value may be
changed by calling GASETI or GASETR.
The description of 'LTY' is as follows:
The labelling type. The value 0 implies that the SPPS routine WTSTR is to
be called to draw labels, the value 1 that the PLOTCHAR routine PLCHHQ is
to be called, and the value 2 that the PLOTCHAR routine PLCHHQ is to be
called and, in addition, the numeric-label strings are to be preprocessed
to force the use of superscript scientific notation in place of the FORTRAN
convention using "E". The default value of 'LTY' is 0; its value may be
changed by calling GASETI or GASETR.
So ... my guess is that you're setting 'WLB', but not 'LTY'. Since the
default value of 'LTY' is zero, WTSTR is being called to draw the labels and
the value of 'WLB' that you put in is not being used. Try setting 'LTY' to
a 1 or a 2 and see if that works.
