[GRASSLIST:5802] export of raster map and legend

Dear All,

I have combined a raster map and a legend (d.legend) and would like to export both in a *.tiff or related format. r.out.tiff does export the map only,; how I can export the legend? Thanks for help, Jan Bartholdy

If you need to export the output from a d.* command, use the PNG
driver, e.g.:

  d.mon start=PNG
  d.rast ...
  d.legend ...
  d.mon stop=PNG

The output will be in a file called "map.png".

For a quick and dirty screen dump to a PNG file, try:
xwd | xwdtopnm | pnmtopng > filename.png
(and click on the window-to-dump with the crosshairs)

- You'll need the ImageMagick programs installed (most systems already do).
- It isn't double buffered so you'll need to make sure that the window
    is on top, and totally on the screen.
- Gives you all colors at the screen bit-rate, even if you don't have
    GD-2.0 installed.

A repost of a slightly-improved-over-last-time PNG driver display-dump
script will follow..
