RIP Tutorial : Miscellaneous

You may convert gmeta files to a number of other graphic formats. For example, to convert to black-white postscript file, you can use the command:

ctrans -d ps.mono rip_sample.cgm > rip_sample.ps

'-d ps.color' will allow you to translate color plots. For more information, check man page on 'ictrans'.

To convert gmeta files to GIF images, a very handy tool is the ncgm2gif script

ncgm2gif -res 500x500 -nomerge rip_sample.cgm

Will convert all images in rip_sample.cgm to rip_samplexxx.gif
