Re: [Closed REQ 5249]: geomview PS Snapshot

["Stuart Levy" <slevy>]

Unfortunately, PS Snapshot pays no attention to Geomview appearances or
lighting.  There may be an improved version some day.  Meanwhile, you can
brighten Postscript files after PSSnap writes them by editing with e.g.:

sed -e "s/setgray/1.5 mul &/" \
     -e "s/setrgbcolor/3 {1.5 mul 3 1 roll} repeat &/" < snap.ps > newsnap.ps

where you could try other numbers rather than 1.5.


You could also get accurately-shaded, though bulky, Postscript files by saving
the screen image directly: hit Save and scroll down to SGI Snapshot,
assuming you've got the SGI version.  Type in a file name, e.g. "snap.sgi".
Then, from the shell, convert to Postscript with
   tops snap.sgi > snap.ps

Hope this is some help.
