Re: is it possible to save gif or png file instead of ps file in ncl?

Hi-

I had trouble with the -trim and +repage on convert not repaging the
gifs, but found using the following syntax:

convert -crop 800x510+0+160\! foo.png foo.gif

would work (\! on the end of the geometry - see
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/crop/). I use "png" for the
workstation type and then use convert with crop to make the images for
the web. I use GIF because they are much smaller than the PNGs.
