<br>
I recently installed ncl on an a linux machine and am having trouble<br>
with the x11 window. Figures do not plot fully, only a portion of the<br>
plot displays and the axis etc are missing. My scripts run fine if I<br>
save to pdf or another format the problem is just with the x11 window.<br>
<br>
xeyes works correctly so I think the DISPLAY environment variable is ok.<br>
I don't get any error or warning messages. My system info is,<br>
<br>
uname -a<br>
Linux davcra-Lenovo-G570 3.13.0-24-generic #47-Ubuntu SMP Fri May 2<br>
23:30:00 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux<br>
<br>
Any advice?<br>
<br>
