Robin, Garp provides a "Save" option under the "File" pulldown menu on the top bar. "Save" will create gif format output files from 1 or more frames of the Garp display. There is no postscript output capability from Garp. You could run a gif to postscript conversion program on the gif files- but they will be slightly blocky since GIF is bitmapped. You would want to change the bakground of the GIF files to white if you were going to convert them to postscript for printing. This can be done by poping up the "ncolor" widget and setting the leftmost color from black to white, or you could do that when converting the gif to postscript. For postscript output, you can use the "ps" DEVICE in any of the standard GEMPAK programs. Also, the output from NMAP/NMAP2 is postscript- with the option of sending directly to a printer. The PS driver does not pront the background, so changing that won't affact the output.
