On my ubuntu 18.04 where I have run ncl for years, the graphics are fine as shown in the attached image TTIMap2.png. On a newly installed ubuntu 20.04 the very same script which produces TTIMap2.png produces TTIMap.png which instead of shading produces contours. Other scripts produce completely blank graphics on ubuntu-20.04 platform, whileas the the graphics from the same script on ubuntu18 platform are just fine.</div><div>My only guess is that perhaps tinkering with the .hluresfile may resolve my problem.
