Render to JPEG/PNG images #28

Hi, is is possible to use this library to render a MeshLab scene to an image file?

3DLIRIOUS commented 3 years ago

Not currently. This library is primarily a front end to meshlabserver, so meshlabserver needs to support saving snapshots before I can add this functionality. According to cnr-isti-vclab/meshlab#119 the developers added this functionality, but no one seems to know how to use it (I haven't tried to figure it out myself). There is also an open meshlab feature request cnr-isti-vclab/meshlab#425 to add this functionality. If you know of a meshlabserver command to save a snapshot then I would be happy to add this, as I would certainly like the functionality myself.
