Hi, i am having some problems with the write_png procedure.
I am trying to save a large image as a png. I am currently displaying the image using "tvscl" and then write_png.
However, this image has more rows than the size of my screen and when I write_png, it only writes the rows which can be seen on the screen, hence my image has a missing portion.
I have tried using "device, retain=2", but this has not helped this problem.
Thanks!

Hi,
I think your problem is not the write_png. Are you taking a snapshot of the window and then writing to the png? Could this be the case?
If so, try to write to a pixmap.
Here is how I did it:
IDL> window, xsize=3000, ysize=3000, /pixmap
IDL> w = !d.window
IDL> tvscl, dist(3000)
IDL> var = cgsnapshot()
IDL> help, var
VAR BYTE = Array[3, 3000, 3000]
IDL> write_png, 'test.png', var
Hope it helps.
Cheers,
Helder
