  Being able to display streamlines in a vectorised format (i.e. not having it classified as a 3D object along with other geometries when export to vectorised graphics format) would be nice too.

  Like Bill says:

  1) Mesh lines and surfaces
  2) Contour lines
  3) Glyphs
  4) Annotations
  5) 2D Graphs & Plots

  Sources' Mesh Line and Flat-Shaded Surfaces, Glyphs, Contour Lines, Annotation items. I just mean GL2PS as a general function.

  3D plots of meshes are often needed in numerical-algorithmy related publications. There is now a quite interesting patch available at https://github.com/demarle/ParaView/tree/vector-graphics-export, which should ease up this development quite a bit.

  2D plots. Streamlines, wireframes, axis lines and fonts in 3D surface plots.

  I would go with the most "straightforward" ones, first,
  Having 2D charts in either svg or eps format would be very nice. No need to generate the plots in other vector graphics softwares.
  Also, 2D color contours as I use them a lot.
  I am not sure how is it with 3D isosurfaces, I know it is not straightforward.

  I would also got for svg, it can be easily converted to other formats with inkscape, for instance.

  i should have added - .svg would be my output format of choice

  Charts and graphs would be a great first objective. Embedded images as a second objective would be great - presumably with the labelling as vector objects... I agree with Bill's suggestion.

  The post-processing industry usually supports two output at a minimum - PDF and sometimes postscript (or EPS). I would also vote for SVG.

  As for supported types, I would like to see all charts and graphs supported directly as vector, but surface plots etc as a start could be supported using an embedded image.

  Isn't Paraview developed using Qt? If so, it has SVG output supported directly.

  Vector graphics for at least charts would be very usefull IMHO.

  No one answered my question about the types of plots that they'd like to see vector output for. Unless the request is scoped down, my comment stands. If we can scope it down to something reasonable like charts and 3D lines, we will consider it. It is not going to happen for general 3D surfaces and volumes.

  I'm not sure if Berk's comment above is up to date - surely if this is a lot of work it could be addressed in a staged manner. First start with 2D plots, then 3D etc etc... if the jury is still out i'd like to vote for vector plot capabilities for Paraview. Paraview is a great tool. Its raison d'etre is to communicate, if the pictures look poor - the message is much harder to pass. Without this capability i may have to reconsider my company's use of Paraview.

  Its a pity that paraview does not support vector graphics. Guess I have to shell out more money to renew my tecplot license. Bitmap is simply useless for publications or even for making presentations.

  It's just sad that paraview doesn't (and won't) have a vector/postscript output. Looks like I'll have to invest some time in learning mayavi2 to get nice pictures for publications.

  Can you give me some examples of the types of plots you'd like to see as vector graphics? For surface plots that are flood filled or volume rendering, vector graphics would not make a lot of difference. Mesh (wireframe) plots? Charts? Iso-lines?
