Display error

[Jennifer Faber]

Hi Muhammad,

What I and Karsaz tried to explain is that in your script you use "printim
jf.eps". Eps isnt a graphic file type like .gif, .png, etc etc
So it should work with printim jf.gif or jf.png, why dont you try that in
your script?

Making averages should not affect saving the file as a picture!

I hope someone else has a solution for your cbar problem.
