Re: [Visualpython-users] Exporting visual image in svg

[Rob S. <rsa...@mt...>]

I've been dreaming about getting Postscript vector graphics from a 
VPython scene.

(I've also been dreaming about options for rendering as wireframe or
as solid with enhanced edges and with dashed or invisible hidden-edges.)

Apart from having VPython render Postscript in addition to OpenGL,
I wonder if these projects for getting Postscript from OpenGL might be useful
http://www.opengl.org/resources/code/samples/mjktips/Feedback.html
http://www.geuz.org/gl2ps/
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/openGL/glexport.aspx

For now, if I need a high-quality image, I screen-capture a VPython window
that I have maximized to a multiple (i.e. 2x2) monitor setup.
If necessary, one can try to vectorize the raster image with
http://autotrace.sourceforge.net/
