Update: Had a look around today, and it does not look very promising. I
have fixed one error in the calculation of some sizes, so that you can
at least output _images_ in non-interactive mode (this works by
"printing" them), but movie generation still relies on getframe(), which
in turn makes a screenshot.

I think I will add an option to output the single frames as individual
images, though. Then you could put together the movie yourself using
ffmpeg or similar.
