Re: [ferret_users] Problem in saving plot in linux-ferret f-14

[jean.c.newman@xxxxxxxx]

I work on a linux system with terminal on an iMax and when I went to Mac 
OS Lion I started having this problem. My solution was to put a pause 
before the "write the gif" command so:

LET circle = ((i-20)^2 + (j-20)^2) ^ 0.5
CONTOUR/i=1:40/j=1:40 circle * exp((10-(i+j))/50)
pause
frame/file=a.gif

This should work.  Jean
