Harun,
we should clarify a few things for others on the ncl-talk list.
HTML is the hypertext markup language used to generate the text associated
with web pages. Images such as NCL produces can be imbedded in an HTML
document but they are not HTML. that is a separate beast.
I think your real question is how to imbed an image produced by NCL into a
web document. Most internet browsers can display various types of image
formats. The most common are *.png, *.pdf, *.jpg, and *.gif
NCL can output various types of image formats (ps, eps, epsi, pdf, and
ncgm).
Most of our users who put their NCL images on the web convert from
postscript (ps) which is the best quality to gif or png using an external
public domain conversion tool. Here at NCAR this is ImageMagik's convert
utility. I believe this software works on both pc's and unix/linux boxes.
While convert is external software, you can call convert (or any other
system command) within an NCL script using the system() function.
Personally, I perfer to call this outside of NCL but that is merely my
cosmetic preference.
