Hi Brian,
       I will add the api to allow you to capture the SkewT now, but not the 
hodograph. I may be able to figure out the logic later to do both. Basically, 
the image capture will be like this:

<image file="${islpath}/bundle.png" 
display="class:ucar.unidata.idv.control.RaobSoundingControl"/>

You need to download tomorrow's nightly release to make this function working.
