Hi Maureen,I didn't notice a response to this online, perhaps somebody already helped you offline. Regardless, see my hack below.

I have for some time run scripts that produce maps with white backgrounds. I have a copy of the coltbl.xmp file in my working directory with white as the first entry to achieve this. However, when I do this, when I use gptext to put on the NWS and NOAA logos, the white in the logos is switched to black.Any ideas on how to resolve this? On the script I am working on right now, I run gpmap, gdplot2, and then gptext (to add the titles and logos).In addition, the logos never look very clean. Would this be because of the size? I use size 2 and they look a little blurry. Any ideas on how to clean them up?Example of what I am referring to at: http://www.prh.noaa.gov/cphc/tc_graphics/EP072004_PROB34_F120_06.gif
Consider placing the logo using ImageMagick instead of GEMPAK. For example,
combine -compose over gempak.gif -geometry +770+650 \ ~/plots/IMAGES/splash.gif tmp.gif HTH, daryl -- /** * Daryl Herzmann (akrherz@xxxxxxxxxxx) * Program Assistant -- Iowa Environmental Mesonet * http://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu */
