Thanks for your suggestion.
I am also using 0.1.1 (r150), with Ferret 7.1 classic on Ubuntu.
For me the numbers (at the key) do not fall of the window. I will leave it as it is for now. I intend to test this on different versions/flavours of Ferret on different machines.
Ideally the sizes of all elements should be tracked and should be consistent with margins. I tried to do this but so far the code is not rigorous in this (and I'm not certain if that is possible at all). A couple of margin symbols help, but it is for instance not possible (as far as I know) to use all the PPLUS symbols or modify them.
Concerning the lining up of the labels (colons), I needed to set the fifth SHAKEY argument to at least 7 in render_layer.jnl. In render_transect.jnl I cannot get the numbers aligned at all. Possibly this is the same issue as the recent post on the Ferret list: https://www.pmel.noaa.gov/maillists/tmap/ferret_users/fu_2017/msg00617.html

complot-0.1.1.tar.gz, which I downloaded on 8/25/2017 from
http://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/complot/
The colorbars are drawn with arguments that start with (for instance in render_transect.jnl),
ppl shakey 1, , 0.22, 2, , , ...
I would suggest a smaller size for the numbers, so that they do not extend past the edge of the page, perhaps 0.16 instead of 0.22.
Also perhaps use a consistent number of digits after the decimal place, so that the labels line up:
ppl shakey 1, , 0.16, 2, 3, , ...
of course, it may not be appropriate to set the number of digits in such a fixed way, as with different data the values along the colorbar may have a different range. Ferret should line up the decimal points on these labels itself, but currently does not.
