Re: Can NCL 5.2.1 support png output format on AIX platform?

John,

I'm afraid I couldn't get the cairo library to build under AIX, so I had to release this version without PNG support.

You can still use the old method of going to a PS file and then using Image Magick's "convert" to convert it to png:

plot = gsn_csm_xxx(wks,....)

delete(wks)

system("convert -trim -geometry 1000x1000 plot.ps plot.png")

"plot.ps" will need to be replaced by whatever your PS file is called.
