    Hi Kip,

    The XWD driver in idt is old and I wouldn't recommend using this tool
    to convert to XWD files. We might be able to fix this, but it would be
    a low priority at this point, since the idt developer is no longer
    available.

    If you want to convert to other formats, like xwd, png, gif, etc, I
    would recommend using one of the many free tools out there, like
    ImageMagick. You can have your NCAR Graphics output go to a PS or PDF
    file, and then you can use these tools to convert to another format.

    Meanwhile, if you can send me your NCGM, I can take a quick look at
    it to see if I have problems at this end.

    Thanks,
    \
