GL2PS is a C library providing high quality vector output for any
|
|
OpenGL application. The main difference between GL2PS and other
|
|
similar libraries (see section 7) 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), Portable Document Format (PDF) and
|
|
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) files, as well as L^AT[E]X files for the
|
|
text fragments. GL2PS also provides limited, experimental support for
|
|
Portable LaTeX Graphics (PGF). Adding new vector output formats should
|
|
be relatively easy; you can also use the excellent pstoedit program to
|
|
transform the PostScript files generated by GL2PS into many other vector
|
|
formats such as xfig, cgm, wmf, etc.
