[ncl-talk] ps figure can not work

[朱学明]

Dear Rick, 
     Thanks for your kindly answer.
     I have tried with "oldps". It works well. In this case, how should I fix my "ps" case's problem, please? Do you know which library should lead to this problem?

     Thanks.

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...

Dear all,
      
       I am trying to use NCL V6.5.0 on the computer nodes of our super-computer. It can work when I set the figure type as "png" or "pdf". But it can not work with "ps". It can output a zero size file named "aaa.ps", and without any error message. However, the same script can work well on the login node with any figure type, "ps", "png", "pdf". 
       Initially, it also can work well with "ps" type on the computer node in May. It is side that the super-computer administrator had upgraded the kernel of Linux system in June. 
       Anybody can give me any suggestion how to fix my problem? Or which software maybe changed when upgrading the Linux system, then affecting the generation of the figure of "ps" type?

      Thanks and regards.
