+dia generates .png files via its export method. Really old browsers
+don't recognize .png so it was previously recommended to convert the
+.png files to gifs. However, all current browsers have acceptable png
+support, so you can leave them in that format. If for some reason you
+want to convert the files to gif, you can do it like this:
perl -le 'for (@ARGV) { print STDERR "converting $_\n"; \ s/\.\w+$//; \
system "pngtopnm $_.png | pnmquant 256 | ppmtogif > $_.gif" } ' *.png
+pngtopnm, pnmquant, and ppmtogif are all part of netpbm, which is
+available at:
