Here is a specific example of what Sylvia described.
These are excerpts from a working script.
NCl has creation of .png files directly on the
infamous "priority list". :-)
[snip]
wksName = "ipcc"
wksType = "ps"
[snip]
wks = gsn_open_wks (wksType,wksName)
[snip]
gifName = wksName+".gif"
if (wksType.eq."ps") then
; use ImageMagik to make .gif file
system("convert -rotate -90 -density 108 -crop 0x0 "+ \
wksName+".ps "+gifName)
; copy to web server
system("/bin/cp ./"+gifName+" /web/public_html/shea/"+gifName)
end if
