Colleagues and co-conspirators
I’d like those of you with different systems to test this script if you could. As part of my updates to the GIS Manager, I’ve expanded the functionality of d.out.png.
The script I’ve attached here—d.out.file—will export the current display monitor to several different file formats: PNG and PPM (using Glynn’s update of the PNG driver) from the PNG driver, and to TIFF, JPEG, and BMP using gdal_translate. PNG compression, JPEG compression, and selections for transparent background, white (now default), and black backgrounds are supported.
If this works OK on other systems besides my Mac (OSX 10.4), I’ll add it to the CVS to replace d.out.png.
Thanks much
Michael

I have tested the script on PIII 450Mhz 192MB Linux Debian Testing with grass6.1-cvs and AMD 3000+ 32Bit 512MB Linux Fedora Core 3 with grass6.1-cvs.
The script works well, i've tested every output format but not every resolution with every outputformat, only with tif and png.
I've used the spearfish dataset and visualized raster maps, vectors, labels and the scalarbar. Looks good, but the black or transparent background didnt worked. I watched the pictures with gimp 2.something.
Besides background and transparency the script work very well.
Best regards

Soeren,
Thanks for the testing.
For the transparent and black/white background options, I used
export GRASS_BACKGROUNDCOLOR=
export GRASS_TRANSPARENT=
that are listed in the PNG driver documentation.
Do these do what they claim to do? I'm not sure how to test.
Michael
