Summary : An OpenGL to PostScript printing library
URL : http://www.geuz.org/gl2ps/
License : LGPLv2+ or GL2PS
Description : GL2PS is a C library providing high quality vector output for any
: OpenGL application. The main difference between GL2PS and other
: similar libraries is the use of sorting algorithms capable of handling
: intersecting and stretched polygons, as well as non manifold objects.
: GL2PS provides advanced smooth shading and text rendering, culling of
: invisible primitives, mixed vector/bitmap output, and much more...
:
: GL2PS can currently create PostScript (PS), Encapsulated PostScript
: (EPS) and Portable Document Format (PDF) files, as well as LaTeX files
: for the text fragments. Adding new vector output formats should be
: relatively easy (and amongst the formats we would be interested in
: adding, SVG is first in line). Meanwhile, you can use the excellent
: pstoedit program to transform the PostScript files generated by GL2PS
: into many other vector formats such as xfig, cgm, wmf, etc.
