# Converts specified PLplot metafiles to GIF format files.  This is a
# two-step process:
#   1. process into postscript (with custom flags)
#   2. convert to GIF using ghostscript (more custom flags)
#
# Each input file must end with ".plm", and a corresponding family of GIF
# files ending with "<number>.gif" (one for each page) is created.
#
# The PLplot and ghostscript flags are chosen so that the output GIF file
# plots have the correct aspect ratio.  This is complicated by the need to
# swap the postscript orientation into landscape mode.  The GIF files
# created are by default of resolution 640x480 or less.  To change, modify
# $res accordingly (note: Y-res must be exactly 9/16 of X-res in order for
# the plots to have the correct aspect ratio).
