Hi Glenn,
I suppose you mean vector Postscript. This is not implemented.
In fact, I was expecting some 3-D HEPVIS guru to do some work in this
area.
Both the X3D and OpenGL interface are quite primitive today. No way to
pick,
no way to get a context object sensitive menu, no vector postscript.
This has to be implemented in the not too distant future.
You can only get postscript output from the screen bitmap via tools such
as
xv or xpick. This does not give an acceptable quality.
