Re: [ferret_users] probem running ferret -batch

Sorry, cut and paste error. (Mail apps trying to be too smart.) I meant to say FRAME /FILE="../../tasmax.2021-2050_1970-2000.ps"

Hi Ulrich,

Ferret does not output PostScript. It can create a GKS metafile that can then be converted into PostScript using the gksm2ps program supplied with Ferret.

What you wrote can be done with PyFerret. But in PyFerret it is better to just use FRAME /FILE=... Ferret commands (in your example FRAME /FILE="http://tasmax.2021-2050_1970-2000.ps") and forget about the -batch command line option. This would also allow you to create multiple PostScript (or PDF) image in one session, which appears might be the case in what you sent.

Trying to save .ps figures, I got a complain from ubuntu 13.10 after typing:

ferret -batch figure_name.ps -script my_Script.jnl
