Info

The macros described in this tutorial can write PostScript and GIF image files to the 'figures' directory in the 'openifs_2019' folder.

To save the images, use the 'Execute' menu option on the icon, rather than 'Visualise'. The 'okular' command can be used to view the PDF & gif images.

To save any other images during these exercises for discussion later, you can either use:

"Export" button in Metview's display window under the 'File' menu to save to PNG image format. This will also allow animations to be saved into postscript.

or use the ksnapshot command to take a 'snapshot' of the screen and save it to a file.

If you want to create animations from other images, save the figures as postscript and then use the convert command:

Code Block
convert -delay 75 -rotate "90<" in.ps out.gif
