If you use 'set kml <i>fileroot</i>', then the two files will have the <i>fileroot</i> that you specify -- with a .kml and a .tif appended. The .kml file will contain an <href> tag that points to the image file grads.tif. Although it is possible to change this tag to point to another image file, it is likely that the the georeferencing information in the .kml file will become incorrect. The image output from printim is something different from the image output from 'gxout kml'. The image file created with 'gxout kml' is a grid of colored pixels -- no map, no borders, no contours, no axis labels. Think of it as the equivalent of 'gxout fwrite' but instead of writing out floating point values, it writes out color index numbers. The output from 'gxout geotiff' is exactly like the output from fwrite, except that the format is TIFF and it also contains the georeferencing info along with the grid of floating point data values. </div><div>Jennifer</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><br><div><div>On Apr 13, 2009, at 2:12 PM, James T.
