Three months are gone

Please have a look at the google archive and search for example

pstoimg group:comp.lang.idl-pvwave group:comp.lang.idl-pvwave
group:comp.lang.idl-pvwave

pstoimg has a transparent parameter.

from the help:

-transparent
Generate transparent bitmaps, i.e. the background
color (white) is transparent if viewed with certain
viewers (e.g. browsers). This option may not be avail-
able due to missing capabilities of external programs.

pstoimg - Convert a PostScript file to a bitmap image
using Ghostscript and the Netpbm utilities
