making slides

GRASS users--

Has anyone succeeded in making slides directly from GRASS images, as
opposed to photographing the screen? If so, how did you do it?

I have just tried making an X window dump, then using pbmplus to
convert the result to a TIFF file for importation into Harvard
Graphics, e.g.:

Pbmplus does not seem the way to go.

That being the case, has anyone succeeded with another approach?
Thanks in advance for any advice. Since this sounds like something
that might be of general interest, I will summarize for the net.

Michael,

I think that this has been talked about a little before so you may have to
do some research. I think the trick is to use the CELL driver first, see
Malcolm D. Williamson's message from ~Jan 14, 1994. You can then use
the src.contrib/SCS/... program r.out.tiff to create the tiff file.
We have been able to do this and then take the tiff into a slide maker
program on our Mac's. If you need more info I can try to dig up some
notes from the people who actually did the work here.

Hope this helps,
