Re: [Visualpython-users] How to print ?

[Bruce S. <ba...@an...>]

Going through PovRay makes sense for normal 3D Visual scenes, but doesn't 
make a lot of sense for the 2D graphs Fortemps is interested in (produced 
by importing visual.graph). And capturing a screen shot gives you low 
resolution when you go to print.

So really what is needed (I think) is for someone to write a module to go 
from a Visual scene (or graph) to Postscript, analogous to what Ruth Chabay 
has done for going to PovRay. This might be useful even for 3D scenes if 
you don't care about the ray-traced quality obtained from PovRay.

VPython is most definitely not built on Tk. The only connection is that Tk 
underlies IDLE, but not Visual.
