[ncl-talk] resources issue

[ali mughal]

Thanks for sharing the script.

I made changes to my script using your shared script (please see attached)
but I still get the following warning and the attached image does not show
triangular edges.

warning:lbBoxEndCapStyle is not a valid resource in testplot_contour at
this time
warning:lbBoxEndCapStyle is not a resource in the given object
