printim problem

[Stephen R McMillan]

I have not tried this with version 2 specifically, but the following 
example produces a valid overlay on background image using version 
1.9.0-rc1:

ga-> printim c:/temp/image.png x960 y720 -b c:/bkgimage.png -t 0

I'm using v1.9.0-rc1 (obtained through opengrads/sourceforge) on a Windows 
XP platform

Good luck--
Stephen Mc

Re: printim problem





Thanx. It seems however that the GrADS version 2 for windows has some 
problems. In fact i can not make it work neither in native windows, nor 
with an x-server. To be more specific It seems that it can not connect to 
the x-sevrer. Maybe I should wait for a next release of version 2.


Thanx for everything.

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.
