2006-01-27 Thread Chris Want
I recently got a color 3D printer that only accepts color output from vrml files. Attached is a patch for current CVS that does the following: 1) When a surface display is shown, it dumps the surface to a VRML 2.0 file in /tmp/pymol.wrl 2) everytime the color scheme of the surface is changed,
