Hi,

Is there any progress so far? It seems R 2.12.1 under Windows still
does not have the rgl.snapshot() support.

This has been fixed, but the new version has not yet appeared on CRAN. The
problem was that it's a little tricky to do the dual-architecture build, and
both rgl and the build scripts needed changing.

If you are set up to build R you can get the latest from R-forge and build
from that.

Hi all,

library(rgl)
plot3d(1,1,1)
snapshot3d("somefile.png")

Error in rgl.snapshot(...) :
? pixmap save format not supported in this build


Why does this no longer work?

The build for 2.12.0 on CRAN doesn't have png support built in. ?I'm
currently working with Uwe to fix this.
