Re: [PyOpenGL-Users] Creating a postscript image of a scene : how do I use openglutil ?

[Mike C. F. <mcf...@ro...>]

openglutil was a PyOpenGL 1.x-specific add-on module that was dropped 
for the 2.x series because the functionality could all be written in 
Python (this allowed us to eliminate the libpng and libjpeg dependencies 
of the 1.x series) and result in more flexible and robust code. You can 
see samples of saving images linked off the glReadPixels manual page here:

    
http://pyopengl.sourceforge.net/documentation/manual/glReadPixels.3G.html

AFAIK all of those save to png or jpeg, but PIL does (apparently) 
support writting EPS from an image, so it should work fine.

HTH,
Mike
