Add vector graphics output (i.e. postscript)

Users have wanted this for at least 5 years (see http://www.paraview.org/pipermail/paraview/2004-September/000836.html), and it was never done. There is a user-made patch by Christian Becker that has been in Mantis for two years (see http://public.kitware.com/Bug/bugviewpage.php?bug_id=2887).

I am changing the status of this back to “under review”. Please add comments about what type of views/representations that you’d like to see supported. We cannot support all types of views. See comments for more info.

Despite the high number of votes, I will have to decline this request. gl2ps is simply not capable enough to support everything that we do with OpenGL and extending it is too much work. If we implement a partial solution, we would end up with a lot of bug reports and improvement requests that we couldn’t address.I am afraid that ParaView users will have to stick with bitmap output.

    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?
