Is it at all possible to add a new device driver to the Wave/IDL systems?
The reason I ask, is that it would be nice to have a GIF plot type. Thus,
you can type SET_PLOT,"GIF" and the graphics output will go to a gif file.

Yes, it is possible. I have written three device drivers for IDL
- Sixel (DEC's bit-mapped printer protocol)
- ITI (Imaging Technology frame grabber/frame buffer)
- DP (Polaroid's Digital Palette)
The source for all of these is included in the user_contrib tree in the
IDL distribution. Documentation on how to write device drivers is in the
IDL Internal Manual which is not included in the standard documentation,
but is available on request (as least it used to be).
