Does anyone else have problems plotting a contour plot over a map with IDL new graphics on a linux machine? My IDL version is 8.2.
Even the minimal example from exelevis is not working. I see the map image (blue marble), but the contour plot does not show.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Jan

Hi Jan,
Just out of curiosity, what happens if you switch from "hardware" to "software" rendering? You can either switch your IDL graphics preference, or you can just specify "renderer=1" when you call one of the graphics functions.
Cheers,

Whew! Well, if you're brave, you could try updating your graphics driver for your machine. Since IDL had problems with your driver, then that suggests that other applications might have problems as well. Also, hardware rendering is usually much faster than software, so it's probably worth the pain to upgrade.
