Re: AW: serialize a 3 d dispaly

Along these same lines,  there is also a "captureDisplay(DisplayImpl d, 
String filename)" method in visad.util.Util.  This writes the display as 
a JPEG into the file you specify.

And...if you're in Python, you can simply use the:

saveplot(display, "myfile.jpg")

method (this can also be used to save spreadsheet cells generated from 
'plot' calls).
