- I have two suggestions, each uglier than the other.

- You can do the output to file in Postscript, get the ghostscript
- program, do pstoppm, get ppm and do ppmtogif.

- You can add ppm as one of the supported output types of gnuplot and be

- Naturally I wish you would do output to ppm, with the color stuff from
- the vga/X code, so that we could have really nifty output, and to pbm
- using the laserjet code, so we could see it on cheap X terminals.
