However, if I pull a separate window over the X11 window, and then bring the X11 window back to the foreground, I can see the entire plot. Weird.

As Alan mentions, it was pervasive under XQuartz for a while, and it was fundamentally an X11 server issue that was ultimately fixed by the XQuartz people. Why Ubuntu now, and why not other Linux distros is a huge mystery at this point. Unfortunately, we don't have access to an Ubuntu machine, so we don't know if its the same issue as under XQuartz, and thus nor do we have a patched binary similar to ncl.xq.fix that Alan mentions. <br><br></div>I don't really have a good answer for you.

is a bug in Apple's new XQuartz windowing system that
causes NCL's cairo X11 window to not display properly on
Mac systems running MacOS 10.8 or later, or on Macs that
have been upgraded to use XQuartz 2.7.x as the default X11
window system.

10, 2013, this bug has been fixed by XQuartz. You need
to download and install version 2.7.5 from <a href="http://xquartz.macosforge.org/" style="color:rgb(133,45,133);margin:0px;padding:0px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal" target="_blank">http://xquartz.macosforge.org/</a>.

<p style="margin:10px 0px 20px;padding:0px;font-size:10pt;line-height:12pt">If you
can't upgrade your XQuartz for some reason, then a

<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

Any advice?<br>
