[ncl-talk] Issues with NCL and latest version of XQuartz X11?

[Michael Toy - NOAA Affiliate]

This is good news that the issue seems to be with XQuartz, and not NCL.  Thank you for pointing this out.  In the meantime, I’ll revert back to 2.8.4.

Best regards,
Mike

When I plot to a file, such as “pdf”, the plot comes out fine.  Does anybody know if there is now an incompatibility between NCL (v6.6.2) and XQuartz?
