Re: [ferret_users] problem in saving plot in wondows-ferret

[Yogesh Tiwari <yogesh.mpi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Ansley,
I surprise why frame/file=name.gif works for others (when ferret starts with ferret -gif) and not for me. 
I also use ferret v5.51 on Windows XP.

What is wrong with ferret at my end.

Whether any one in ferret comunity faced this problem?

Thx

Yogesh

Yogesh,

The FRAME/FILE=name.gif  (in x-windows mode, not starting Ferret with ferret -gif)  just captures what's on the screen, so another alternative would be to just do that yourself with the PrintScreen key and and pasting into a free software program such as IrfanView (where you would have to do just a bit to the image, such as removing the windows border).  Then you can save the gif image and use it as you wish.
