> Thanks for your response. How can change the format of the label while using cgPlotS function?

Humm. Not sure I understand your question. With cgPlotS, one controls
the "format" of the symbol by choosing one of the 50 or so symbols
allowed, changing its size (SymSize) and color (SymColor) as needed.

But, I thought you were talking about numbers. If you are asking how do
you format numbers that you put onto a plot with a command like cgText,
then I would say it is done with the String function:

number = 123.4567
numberAsLabel = String(number, Format='(F0.2)')
cgText, lon, lat, numberAsLabel, Size=2.0

Cheers,

David
