8.3 One Step Printing

A frequently asked question is ``How can I quickly get a printout of the VMD Display?'' There are several one step solutions to this problem  

• Choose the PostScript output option in the Render form and type lpr %s in the render command box.
• Choose the snapshot option and type convert %s eps:%s.ps; lpr %s.ps in the render command box. This assumes that you have the ImageMagick tools available in your PATH setting.
• As an example of how to directly print a Raster3D file, choose the Raster3D option   in the Render form and type render < %s -sgi %s.rgb; convert %s.rgb eps:%s.ps; lpr %s.ps in the render command box.
