Thanks to Ross and Joachim for their help.
I downloaded netpbm 9.25 and installed it on my Red Hat 7.2 system.
There was no RPM, but the available tgz installed without problems.
As a result the cropping problem I was seeing is gone.
But the generated image backgrounds still don't match the general
background, and I'm not sure I understand what Ross and Joachim
said about this.
Ross said: The gray is meant to be transparent.
Currently this doesn't happen because the black `cropping bars' have not
been removed, so the correct background color index is not being found,
to determine which color should be made transparent.
Joachim said: use white as background :-)
I tried the -white option, and it did not help. I tried manual editing
index.html to make the general background white (ffffff), and that left
the images gray.
Is there any work-around known?
Also, please let me know if posting my reply to the general list, rather
than to the individuals, is appropriate for your list.
Thanks,
Peter
