Re: [ferret_users] Publication quality plots

Aleksi,

| One more question, I'm writing an article to a paper,

Convert the GIF file to a PPM to increase the size (without
increasing the quality)---I'm joking, . . . almost.  The size
of a GIF file isn't a good measure for its resolution.

I suggest that you produce your plot in the PostScript format
and then convert it into a GIF file at whatever resolution
you like.  You can regard the PostScript format as having
infinite resolution so that you can specify whatever resolution
when converting.
