You can grab an SG3d image in various ways (xgrab and xv come to mind)
and convert it to some useful format with PBMPLUS or xv. I don't know
of a way to save the results of an image building command directly to
a file...

I use the SGI program snapshot which saves images to SGI .RBG format.

I also have a rgbtoppm converter. If anyone is interested, I can put
it on max.

The latest version has a "run and save images" option for animations.

David, I w'd like to learn the export into *.TIFF with "imgscan". So it
could be used to import into a MAC environment for color separation in
case of map/image production... At the moment I produced GRASS output
from TEK (installed 4.0) host to the SGI-4D machine (winterm's) as
different "snapshots.rgb" files. Principally, it should be possible to
scan the screen with the "imgscan" tool and store as *.TIFF but I never
explored the import as mac.TIFF so far...

Does somebody have experience to materialize the *.RGB images onto
color slides ? Having produced different outputs and saved as *.RGB's
I w'd like to make some slide photos afterwards in spite of absence
of any hard copy color output at the moment...
Any hints for taking the photographic snapshots in color from the screen,
btw I bought a Fudji slide film today to experiment next week with it!?
