I'm trying to write a mathlink program (on unix in c) that will output a specified GIF. For example, in the program I say: MLEvaluateString(lp,"Display[\"full/path/name/testout.gif\", Plot3D[Sin[x]Cos[y],{x,0,2Pi},{y,0,2Pi},DisplayFunction->Identity],\"GIF\"];"); When I run the program, the gif is not created. However, if I explicitly start the kernel and call the function: Display["full/path/name/testout.gif", Plot3D[Sin[x]Cos[y],{x,0,2Pi},{y,0,2Pi},DisplayFunction->Identity],"GIF"]; the gif is correctly created. Why is this happening, and (more importantly) how can I get the mathlink program to correctly create the gif? $Version = HP-UX PA-RISC 3.0 (October 4, 1996) $ReleaseNumber = 0 Timothy Prescott
