Dear Daniel (and Duncan): back in January you reported that you were having trouble saving an rgl movie on Vista. I don't know if you ever got that resolved, but a student of mine is now having a similar problem, not specific to dynamic graphics (which would have to be a problem outside of rgl anyway). He may report more on the symptoms, but essentially rgl.snapshot produces black or funky output on a simple static image. rgl.postscript hangs. I am afraid this might be a generic Vista problem ... I haven't yet gotten around to rebooting my Linux machine into Vista so that I can check on it.
http://www.nabble.com/Can-a-dynamic-graphic-produced-by-rgl-be-saved--td14649977.html The example we ran would be something as simple as library(rgl) rgl.open() rgl.spheres(1:3,1:3,1:3,col="red") rgl.snapshot("test.png") ## brings rgl window to top, creates funky gray and white png file rgl.postscript("test.ps") ## hangs Duncan, do you have any ideas? Do you have any reports (positive or negative) from people running rgl.snapshot() on Vista? RSiteSearch("rgl vista") turned up only this thread ... cheers Ben Bolker -- Ben Bolker Associate professor, Biology Dep't, Univ. of Florida [EMAIL PROTECTED] / www.zoology.ufl.edu/bolker GPG key: www.zoology.ufl.edu/bolker/benbolker-publickey.asc
