[ncl-talk] ps figure can not work

[Rick Brownrigg]

Hi,

I do not have a good explanation as to why that is happening. But I wonder
if you would try an experiment with me -- in the gsn_open_wks() statement,
try using "oldps" instead of just "ps", and let me know happens.  "oldps"
(an unfortunate name that I'm responsible for) refers to the legacy
postscript driver, vs. the current default drivers based upon
cairographics.  Postscript support is optional in cairographics, but one
has to go to lengths to disable it. I can't think of any other explanation
however...
