How can I convert my NCAR Graphics output file to another format, like GIF or PNG, to put on the web or in a presentation?
We used to recommend using a script called “ncgm2gif” for converting NCGMs to GIF files. However, “ncgm2gif” has become a bit outdated, and there are better methods for converting to other raster formats. Our recommendation is to start with a PostScript (PS) or Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file, and then use “convert” from the ImageMagick suite of tools to convert the PS file to another format like GIF, PNG, or even MPEG. You can get the ImageMagick suite from: http://www.imagemagick.org/ Click on the “download” link on the left side and you will be presented with lots of options for download locations. Mac users can download it using “fink install imagemagick”. You must have fink installed first – http://fink.sourceforge.net/.
