Ipshita,

By default, NCL plots have a white background and a black foreground, and all lines, axis backgrounds, contour lines, text, markers, etc, are black by default, unless you specfically set a resource like “tmBorderLineColor” to white.

So, you have two possible solutions: don’t use white as a color for these type of plot elements, or, if you really want a black background and a white background, then you can change this when you call gsn_open_wks:

  type                   = “x11"
  type at wkBackgroundColor = "black"
  type at wkForegroundColor = "white"
  wks                    = gsn_open_wks(type,”example”)
