Vector graphics hardcopy output (such as postscript) will only be available with Cairo, or with older versions of GrADS. Fonts, anti-aliasing, and transparent colors are only available with Cairo and will never be a part of the classic interface. So, your interactive interface will be fine as long as you can make do without fancy pants graphics. </div><div>--Jennifer</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Mar 14, 2014, at 3:36 PM, Tim Marchok - NOAA Federal wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div>Hi there,<br><br>I noticed this in the "Features" section of the ChangeLog for GrADS v2.1.a1:<br><br><blockquote type="cite"> * The widgets (buttons, drop menus, and rubber bands) have been temporarily disabled<br></blockquote><br>I hope the plan is to re-enable the widgets with the next release? I have an interactive GrADS script for plotting TC tracks and intensities that is built entirely around the use of buttons, menus, drop menus and rubber bands (see attached). Obviously, it does not work with GrADS v2.1.a1<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Tim<br><br>-- <br>_________________________<br>Tim Marchok<br>NOAA/GFDL<br><a href="mailto:timothy.marchok@noaa.gov">timothy.marchok@noaa.gov</a><br>(609) 452-6534<br><br><span><grads_plottrak_example.jpg></span>_______________________________________________<br>gradsusr mailing list<br>gradsusr@gradsusr.org<br>http://gradsusr.org/mailman/listinfo/gradsusr<br></div></blockquote></div><br><div>
