Hi -
The pattern palettes use low-level graphics calls that are not
available in -gif mode. This is noted in the documentation on
PATTERN,
http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/documentation/users-guide/commands-reference/PATTERN
Sdroll down towards the bottom,
NOTE: The pattern capability depends on underlying
graphics
libraries and is available only in interactive mode and metafile
batch
mode...
There are some suggestions there about what options are available.

Hi Ferreters,
I pointed out that my batch ferret file behaves weird. It means
when I run a command
ferret -script draw.jnl 2011031800 85
the the script can use a pattern like this (which is provided to
ferret by default)
shade/pal=ice/lev=(1)/pal=white/nolab/over seaicem ! to make white
background
shade/pal=ice/lev=(1)/pat=dark_up_right_to_left/pal=ice_2/nolab/over
seaicem
and then I can capture the effetcs by
frame/file=u10.gif
but when I run following command
ferret -gif -script draw.jnl 2011031800 85
The script is unable to use the pattern dark_up_right_to_left. And
I tried to get its an absolute path or I copied it to different
dirs and it also gave me nothing.
Perhaps, maybe the script uses it but it isn't be captured by
frame command.
Kind regards,
Szymon Roziewski
