Re: XGKS(GIF) error

[Ansley Manke <Ansley.B.Manke@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Boyin,
Do you have a SET WINDOW/SIZE command in your script?
Here's the relevant section from the Ferret users' guide on the
ferret -gif command.

  > ferret -gif

  yes? (commands that generate a plot...)

  yes? FRAME/FILE=picture.gif

  sends the stored graphical output from Ferret to the GIF file picture.gif.

  Please note the following when using batch mode:

       Window resizing only works if the window is cleared before resizing
        the window. For instance:
          yes? set window/clear/size=0.25
       will resize the window while
          yes? set window/size=0.25/clear
       will cause an error.
