Will I be getting a plot like this using ESMF_rect_to_curv.ncl script

Hi All,

I have generated the following plot using
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/Templates/ESMF_rect_to_curv.ncl
script but a bit confused about the simulation pattern. Could you
please tell me whether I should be expecting a figure of this type or
not? I look forward to hearing from you. Please see the attached figure:

Thanks
Palash

Here you go the code I have used:
