As a researcher I not only need to visualize results during development, but I also need to present them to the scientific community.
The type of results I need to show are
Static plots/images that can be used in printed articles but also on presentations
Movies for use in presentations or web pages
I would like to see built-in tools for producing publication and presentation grade media.
Some things to consider:
The simplest solution would be to add controls to capture a playing visualization as a movie, or static images, as it is seen in the viewer.
A mechanism to control the visualization using code (or configuration) is needed. Maybe you need to visualize different data using the same settings or you simply want to be able to script generation of figures for reproducibility. I envision some kind of API/tools to control e.g. camera views in 3D-plots, zoom-levels for 2D images, etc.
Where applicable prefer vector-type graphics output (SVG/PDF)
