> I've just placed a small (and free) utility program on my home page that
may
> be of use to some readers of this list.  The "MakeGIF" utility allows you
to
> create a GIF file from any picture or bitmap that has been copied to the
> clipboard, with optional resizing along the way.  You can then use the GIF
> file on a web page or in an email.
>
> Many antenna modeling programs have functions to make clipboard copies.
For
> example, EZNEC and EZNEC/Pro have "Copy Plot" (and sometimes "Copy Plot
and
> Data") menu items available for the View Antenna, 2D plot, 3D plot, and
SWR
> plot graphics windows.  The Nittany Scientific programs (NEC-Win Plus+,
> NEC-Win Pro, GNEC) have similar "Copy All" and "Copy Area" (copy a
> user-selected rectangular subset) menu items.  With MakeGIF you can easily
> turn any of these clipboard copies into GIFs.
>
> Of course there are many different ways to make GIF files.  This utility
> gives you one more option to add to your bag of tricks.  Perhaps other
> readers could post back with their favorite methods.
>
> Available at www.qsl.net/ac6la/, look for the "Make a GIF" link.  Requires
> Excel 97 or later.  If you are comfortable with Excel macros you are
welcome
> to snoop around the Visual Basic code and perhaps extract portions for
your
> own projects.  The code is not locked or hidden in any way.
