Hi Silvia,<div><br></div><div>First of all, welcome to the GrADS user community!</div><div><br></div><div>Interesting you encountered the issue you mentioned, since I had not experienced it before (i.e., not being able to use GrADS offline). Although I have used GrADS now for about 10 years, I just learned I also cannot launch it in the graphics mode when my internet is disconnected. However, I did find I could do the following with my version (2.0.1.oga.1, the opengrads version). Perhaps something here will be useful to you:</div>
<div><br></div><div>When offline, I can use GrADS in the batch mode (grads -b). Although no graphics window, I can still plot and save output to image files.</div><div>If I am online and launch GrADS in the graphics mode, then afterwards go offline, I can still use it in graphics mode as long as I don't quit the session.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have another machine with an older opengrads version (1.9). On it, I can initiate both graphics and batch modes when offline.</div><div><br></div><div>Perhaps one of the developers or other user can shed some light on this inconvenient issue and how to resolve it.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Sorry I couldn't be of more help, and good luck.</div><div><br></div><div>Stephen Mc<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Mar 16, 2013 at 7:38 AM, silvia rosalina <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:silvi_math55@yahoo.co.id" target="_blank">silvi_math55@yahoo.co.id</a>></span> wrote:<br>
