Re: Ngl.open_wks

Hi Gary,

FYI, the PNG driver that is part of 1.3.0b4 is a new, overhauled PNG driver.

To be honest, I thought with the old PNG driver, you still got some kind of frame counter,
because there's no way for PyNGL (or NCL for that matter), to know apriori how many
frames will be in a PNG file.

I've CC'ed Rick, as he may have some more information on this.

I didn't even realize we advertised the old PNG driver, as it was one of
those internal things that we were trying out.

What was the behavior before 1.3.0b4?
