<br>
after updating LINUX to RedHat Enterprise 7, grads v 2.1.a3
starts failing <br>
to display plots properly. In particular, 2.1.a3 is failing to
plot <br>
contours (merely plotting contour labels).<br>

This is probably a symptom of an X11 problem. Are you using
COLA’s pre-compiled build on RHEL7, or did you build your own
executable from source? <br>
</div>
</blockquote>
(1) we are using pre-compiled binaries from
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.iges.org/grads/downloads.html">http://www.iges.org/grads/downloads.html</a>. But they are indicated as
RHEL5 (not 7).<br>

It seems that this problem is machine dependent and is
probably associated <br>
with the Cairo rendering in X11. If I log into the same
machine, but from <br>
windows laptop (XMing), grads works fine.<br>
</blockquote>
What is the non-windows system you are using to login to the
linux system that fails to render the graphics properly? If it
is a mac, what does it say about versions in the ‘About X11’ pop
up window? What version of OS X is running? <br>

It works fine from WINDOWS 8.1 laptop (Dell) with Xming. I don't
have a MAC to try.<br>

Is there any cure for that?<br>

It is probably going to require a new X11 release, something
over which I have no control. I will need more information
before submitting a bug report, however. </div>
