Having the possibility of directly exporting the scene from IDLgrWindow to a PoV file would make my life simpler. I would be very grateful to get a copy of your source (strictly for academic usage). With my warmest regards and thanks, Thomas Hello,

I'd like to give a try. Thanks. Cool. I’d like to give a try. Thanks.

I am looking for the methods which IDL can export graphic object to other 3D files, such as pov-ray, blender, 3Dmax, VTK and so on. Can I try it? It’s greate.

So it would something like: <code> IDL> pov = obj_new('VISgrPOVRay', file_prefix='output') IDL> pov->draw, oview </code> This will produce a file output.ini (and a bunch of others) that can be run through POV-Ray.

Do you create a POV-Ray device and output to that? Can you "shed some more light" on this? Thanks. I guess I’m not sure what exactly you mean by “POV-Ray destination”.
