Re: Hardcopy: Half of a plot

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

Hi James,
I haven't seen this before. Try making your plot by starting Ferret 
using the -gif command line option:

> ferret -gif
  yes? commands...
  yes? frame/file=test.gif

This runs Ferret in a mode which writes the gif file directly.  When you 
issue the FRAME command in standard mode with an X-window open, Ferret 
makes the gif by grabbing the image back from the X window.  I expect 
there's some kind of mismatch between what Ferret sees as the screen 
size, and the size of the actual image.

In fact, I just tried a test, where I made a plot in an x-window, moved 
the image partially off the edge of the screen, and did a 
FRAME/FILE=test.gif  The resulting gif was chopped off .
