ROOT has no built-in tools for that.
Under Unix one can apply xwpick package (or something like this)
(see: http://wwwinfo.cern.ch/dis/asis/products/X11/xwpick.html )
Under Windows any Windows image/picture application.
Under Windows my favorite is Microsoft PhotoEditor
or PowerPoint (both are the parts of MS Office). Both of them
are capable to resize the images to any reasonable size
with no quality lost.
Then one can use Adobe Postscript driver
(see: http://www.adobe.com/supportservice/custsupport/LIBRARY/pdrvwin.htm )
or Microsoft Postscript driver. The last is built-in any postscript printer driver supplied
with MS OS's (Win95/98/NT)
All said above mean
- one can not create postscript 3-D image "in batch". As xwpick as Windows applications
assume "interactive screen capture step" So there is no "Postscript rendering" yet.
- Both packages as X3D as OpenGL produce the pixmap picture (This feature has nothing
to do with ROOT). This means in general there is no way (but Microsoft PhotoEditor) to
size the picture to any arbitrary size.
In general the pixmap picture is not as compact as the "vector" one for black/white
plots with no shadows / lights.
Hope this helps,
Valery
