I always use SSH from my laptop to connect to Redhat linux
systems … I am not sure I can even duplicate this method of
running GrADS. I know that unix systems have a GUI interface for
logging in directly that looks a bit like a windows desktop, but
I have never used it. What happens when you use batch mode and
gxprint — do you get a proper graphic that way? </div>

The difference between the two cases is in X11. In the first
case it is handled by Xming (not sure, guessing that), in
the second case it is handled by RH7 X11 library. <br>

X11 has client/server sides, and I often get them confused. I
think it is the X11 server that is on the laptop side, and the
client on the redhat linux side. So if you are using the unix
GUI, maybe that is employing the older version of the X11 server
that has the faulty rendering? </div>

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>

(1) we are using pre-compiled binaries from <a href="http://www.iges.org/grads/downloads.html" target="_blank">http://www.iges.org/grads/downloads.html</a>.

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)

It is probably going to require a new X11

control. I will need more information before
submitting a bug report, however. </div>
