Re: wrf utility (x11 vs. pdf/ps)

Hi Qian,

This appears to be experimental code, and I recommend contacting wrfhelp@ucar.edu
  about this problem. I've CC'ed them.

There should be no problem with using type="x11" versus type="pdf" or
type="ps". We do this all the time in the gsn_open_wks
code. My guess is that the problem is somewhere else in the code. One
issue could be if you don't have write permissions,
or you are running out of disk space to write a PS or PDF file.
