Converting grads output to PDF

[Jean Pierre Arabonis]

Hi
    Attached is a output that I made - prints out well to A5 and as is
in png format (which is lossless compression) does not have the tell
tale flares that appear in jpegs.

printim outputfilename.png png x600 y800

 As you increase the x and y resolution your image will get clearer as
it is magnified.
    Cheers
       Jean Pierre
