Hi the list, I use rgl to produce a 3D graph. I would like to "show" this graph to some collaborator. Is there a way to save it and send it to someone else? Christophe Genolini

Is there a way to save it and send it to someone else?See ?rgl.postscript and ?rgl.snapshot Or use some kind of screen capture system - on Windows the 'Print Screen' key can copy the screen to the clipboard, paste into Photoshop or other graphics program. On Linux, I use 'scrot' from the command line - type 'scrot -s', click on a window, and it makes a PNG file of it. -- blog: http://geospaced.blogspot.com/ web: http://www.maths.lancs.ac.uk/~rowlings web: http://www.rowlingson.com/ twitter: http://twitter.com/geospacedman pics: http://www.flickr.com/photos/spacedman

Acrobat 9.3 for the Mac renders the plots correctly. Now I get quite lovely orientable images.> > G > > -- > %~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~% > Dr. Gavin Simpson [t] +44 (0)20 7679 0522 > ECRC, UCL Geography, [f] +44 (0)20 7679 0565--- David Winsemius, MD West Hartford, CT
Thanks a lot Both Asymptote and MeshLab work fine. Thanks for this article, Luke. On my particular case, I need to export lines (1D object in a 3D space) and not surfaces (2D objects). Is it possible to draw lines with misc3d ?
