Re: Ways to output image to standard out

Hi Harold,

I'm skeptical that this would work, if for example, you plugged in "/dev/stdout" as the output filename. Among other things, the png driver is going to insist upon appending a ".png" suffix to the filename. Perhaps you could get what you want by writing to a well known named pipe (named with .png)?
