Export vector graphics
Saves the screenshot to a file in PostScript or other vector graphics format.
rgl.postscript( filename, fmt = "eps", drawText = TRUE )
filename |
full path to filename. |
fmt |
export format, currently supported: ps, eps, tex, pdf, svg, pgf |
drawText |
logical, whether to draw text |
Animations can be created in a loop modifying the scene and saving a screenshot to a file. (See example below)
This function is a wrapper for the GL2PS library by Christophe Geuzaine, and has the same limitations as that library: not all OpenGL features are supported, and some are only supported in some formats. See the reference for full details.
