Re: Warning tiMainstring

Basit,

This script works fine for me with NCL 4.3.0, with no warning
message. You are using a down level version of NCL. Please
consider upgrading.

Also, in this line you have specified output to a postscript file:

   wks = gsn_open_wks("ps","box")

If you change "ps" to "x11", then you will get the X11 window that
you want. HTH.
