[ncl-talk] Possible bug with XT tickmark labels

Hello,

I am attempting to explicitly label the top X-axis tickmarks when using
gsn_csm_xy(). I am successful placing ticks in the correct location
matching the tmXTValues resource, but cannot get labels to show up using
the tmXTLabels resource. Note that even when setting tmXUseBottom to
"False", NCL will still not draw XT tickmark labels even when tmXTMode is
not set to "Explicit" (i.e. just let NCL label them the way it would by
default).

I have attached a sample script and PNG file illustrating the results.
Details:
1. The version of NCL you are running (ncl -V):
/usr/local/ncl_ncarg-6.4.0/bin/ncl -V
6.4.0
2. The shortest NCL script possible that illustrates the bug:
Attached as file "testXTLabels.ncl"
3. Any data files needed to run your script:
n/a
4. A graphic (PNG, PS, or PDF file) that illustrates the problem:
Attached as file "testXTLabels.png"
5. The exact error message (if any):
n/a
6. The type of system you're on ("uname -a", "gcc --version", what
flavor/version of Linux/MacOS, etc:
Linux cessna 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.36-1+deb8u2 (2016-10-19)
x86_64 GNU/Linux

Thank you in advance for any help!
