Information about the package, gl2ps, which is shipped with common Linux distributions. The gl2ps package is designed for, An OpenGL to PostScript printing library.
Package Name:
gl2ps
Summary:
An OpenGL to PostScript printing library
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.
