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

[Bruce S. <Bru...@nc...>]

Currently the way to get high-quality images is to use the povexport module 
available in the contributed section of vpython.org:

"A module by Ruth Chabay to export a VPython scene to POV-Ray, which can create 
a high-resolution ray-traced image as a targa file, which can then be further 
manipulated in image-processing applications such as Photoshop. Markus Gritsch, 
Bruce Sherwood, Scott David Daniels, and Guy Kloss also contributed."

Ruth Chabay and I have made extensive use of this machinery to prepare 
high-resolution images for a physics textbook.
