Hi,

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

Regards,
Yihui

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.

Thanks a lot! Unfortunately we have no access to r-forge these days...
Could you put the latest version in your homepage? (the one in
http://www.stats.uwo.ca/faculty/murdoch/software/ is outdated)

Sure.  I can't build the 64 bit one from here at home, but I've put a 32 
bit R 2.12.1 build there (as well as the source).

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.

thanks,
