There's always graphics/netpbm. This is a set of command line tools that can be used to convert/resize/rotate or do other stuff on images. You'll be glad to find that it includes a utility called xwdtopnm, and a host of conversion tools that can read a *.pnm file and convert it to other formats. One of them is called ppmtogif :) You can pipe and stick these tools together, with commands like: xwdw -root | xwdtopnm | ppmtogif > screen.gif - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
