printim problem

[Stephen R McMillan]

To my knowledge, the background and transparency options do not work with 
version 1.8.  Try upgrading to one of the available more recent versions.

printim problem





Dear GrADS users.
I' m trying to use "printim" to create an image with background. For 
example, to illustrate the vorticity field over a background of topography 
created with makebg.gs. The problem is that "printim" does not work 
properly with the desired arguments. Whenever i use an expresion analogous 
to "printim image.gif -b mybkg.png -t 0" (as stated in 
http://www.iges.org/grads/gadoc/gadocindex.html) i get the message
"PRINTIM error:  Invalid option; ignored". 
However, whenever i use the experesion "printim image.gif gif x800 y600" i 
works perfectly.
Can anyone help me with this problem?
I'm using GrADS 1.8 (native windows or with x-server) with windows xp 
operating system.

Thanx in advance.
