Re: [HCP-Users] export workbench scenes as vector graphics
Scene files are not a vector format internally, they store the entire GUI state of wb_view (loaded files, window sizes, tab types and order, order of layers in tabs, palette settings), and when they are displayed (or captured via wb_command), the data files are loaded and all the display logic in workbench is used to rasterize the result, effectively as a bitmap (which then gets compressed into the chosen raster image format). Vector graphics are instead collections of lines, curves, text, and other simple primitives, which are most suited for things like diagrams and charts (though in many formats, PDF in particular, you can embed raster graphics). Vector formats are not suitable for general purpose image storage, such as photographs or nontrivial 3D renderings. The annotations themselves, without whatever they are displayed on top of, are quite similar to vector graphics. I don't know if they would be useful by themselves.

Re: [HCP-Users] export workbench scenes as vector graphics
Thanks Matt, thought so but wanted to make sure. That should work for now. CC-ing John Harwell since he had a detailed answer for my last wb_view question. John, do you know if this would this be feasible to add as a feature? As Matt noted, the scenes already contain the image/annotation data in something equivalent to a vector format internally.
