Alex.<div><br></div><div> I am not quite sure what you are suggesting. Are you talking about an on-line or off-line capability? In either case, this can be achieved rather easily with imagemagick's convert utility. For example, if you have a metafile with multiple frames, gxyat will create a series of PNG image files:</div>
<div><br></div><div>% gxyat -o frame-%02d.png frames.gx</div><div><br></div><div>Creating animated GIF can be accomplished with something like:</div><div><br></div><div>% convert -adjoin -o frames.gif frame-*.png</div><div>
<br></div><div>Of course, the individual image flles would be better created inside grads with gxyat or printim.</div><div><br></div><div> Arlindo</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>On Wed, Jan 20, 2010 at 4:17 PM, Alex Fierro <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:alexandre.o.fierro@gmail.com">alexandre.o.fierro@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:</div>

<br>Another, I believe, quite useful capability that is sadly not present in GRADS is the ability to SAVE Animated GIF files produced by grads using gxgif. It is easy to loop over time but impossible to SAVE the resulting animation with a single command in GRADS.<br>
<br>Any plans of including this function soon ? For modelers like us, this would be a *very* welcome capability. This new command, like gxgif, could include flags for the x and y resolution which would allow users to reduce the usually large size of the animations (although gifs are usually small)<br>
