<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Hi Adam,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">FYI: We just release NCL V6.5.0 so you might want to try this. You can use "conda" to install NCL, which is similar to the way you installed the Ubuntu package. Instructions can be found <a href="http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/conda.shtml">here</a>.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">However, I'm not aware of any specific problems in NCL V6.4.0 that would cause these problems. Sometimes the contouring algorithms can have problems if you have coordinate arrays or values for each of your data values and the coordinates are inconsistently spaced. Moving to raster fill definitely changes the algorithm used under the hood.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">The labelbar strings not appearing is also not something I'm aware of. I would need to know more about how you are creating the plot and what your data looks like.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Are you able to provide your script and data so I can have a look? If the date file is small, you can email it and the script to me (and feel free to email them to me personally if you don't want to send them to ncl-talk). If the data is large, you can use our ftp:</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default"><a href="http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/ftp_files.shtml">http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/ftp_files.shtml</a><br></div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">As for using the Ubuntu package: this shouldn't be the cause of your problems. Do you have any other contour scripts that still work? If you don't have your own scripts, you could try one of our examples. Go to:</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default"><a href="http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/plot_data_on_map.shtml">http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/plot_data_on_map.shtml</a><br></div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">where you can download the scripts and the data files.</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">Look over this suite of examples and pick one of the filled contour ones. The very first one is a good place to start.</div><div class="gmail_default"><br>Hope to hear back from you as I'd like to get to the bottom of this.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have been using ncl 6.3 for a while now and recently upgraded to 6.4 to use a new variable you have added.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One script I have been using uses gsn_contour and uses the default fill mode of “area fill”. However since upgrading to 6.4 it doesn’t seem to be plotting colours using this area fill mode, but if I turn on the contour lines then I can
see it is plotting the data correctly.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have found a work around to use raster fill and then turn on raster smoothing which gives roughly the same picture. Just wanted to let you know as I guess this is a bug introduced into 6.4? I couldn’t find anything else online about it
so I guess not many other people have come across this error.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also the labelbarstrings resource doesn’t seem to be working properly either. I don’t get any errors on command line but the label bar names never appear properly.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am using the defauly ubuntu package rather than installing ncl myself so do you think this is an issue?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks</p>
