Re: ctrans and pdf

It is better to write your graphical output directly to PDF if possible. For example, from NCL:

   wks = gsn_open_wks("pdf","example")

If not, you can try:

ctrans -d sun -res 500x500 cn05n.ncgm >! cn05n.sun
convert cn05n.sun cn05n.pdf

You may want to play with the "res" values, and add a "-density" option if the fonts look fuzzy:

convert -density 700 cn05n.sun cn05n.pdf
