Re: [ferret_users] extract contours to kml for google earth

[Ansley Manke <ansley.b.manke@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
For right now, in the current Ferret distribution, there's a script, 
image_to_kml.jnl which makes an image of the right type to go onto 
Google Earth and puts it into a kml file.  Note it's best to use Ferret 
in -gif mode, "ferret -gif". The script sets the image so that 
white-space is transparent.

yes? go/help image_to_kml
