Thanks for responding Karl, I haven’t tried pyFerret – I’ll take a look at it. I just confirmed that my same segfault error also occurs with the 6.9.3 release, so how far would I have to go back to attempt to get around these X11 triggering issues? Cheers, P From:
Karl Smith - NOAA Affiliate <karl.smith@xxxxxxxx> Hi Paul, Have you tried using PyFerret? It should be a drop-in replacement for Ferret as far as using working from the ferret prompt and running ferret scripts. It will be somewhat slower plotting, but will give much better graphics and will allow
you to save plots directly as PDF's. Why I mention this is traditional Ferret uses some rather old X11 code for displaying plots, and has recently started having some issues we have had to work around. (Primarily changes in the X11 events that are generated when things happen
with the window.) My gut feeling is that this old X11 code might be related to the VNC viewer error. PyFerret uses Qt (via PyQt) to display plots and does not have any of the old X11 code in it. Best regards, Karl On Thu, Apr 20, 2017 at 2:02 PM, Durack, Paul J. <durack1@xxxxxxxx> wrote:
