Re: Changing resolution of PNG output

I have had some problem setting colors, but not enough to deter me from
using the PNG driver. It is simply too expensive to output to
postscript and then convert to png. I'm trying to keep my application
responsive.

Thanks for your help! I spent several hours looking for those resources
yesterday, how nice to come into work and find the answer waiting for
me! Perhaps a mention of the wkWidth and wkHeight resources should be
put into the NCL glossary? They are not in there currently, and I
likely would have found them on my own if they had been.
