The process we use at SPC to create our frontpage maps is rather
complicated, but it gives us the desired effect.  These steps are followed
in order to create pixel-for-pixel identical images for our products on the
SPC website front page.

1)
1)  GPMAP is used with the following options:
   map    = 6=140:140:140/1/1
   garea  = 19.0;-120.1;50.8;-61.3
   radfil = <latest 1km mosaic radar image>
   proj   = rad
   text   = 1/22//hw
   lutfil = white.tbl <sets everything to white>
   bnd    = bg/30=210:227:244+hcn_bnds/11=g80+state_bnds/1
   dev    = gf|basemap.gif|640;480

2) Next we use mogrify to crop the image to the correct area
   mogrify -crop 582x408+28+36 basemap.gif

Hope this helps!
