We&#39;ve implemented something like that so that we can have snapshots taken at preset times and saved to files. It&#39;s done by adding a new method to Display2D.java:<br>takeSnapshot(String filename). You can then call this method whenever you like and feed it a String for the filename.<br>

<br>I&#39;ve attached our modified file. The new method is right after the original takeSnapshot(). <br><br>-Paul Smaldino<br><a href="mailto:[log in to unmask]"><a href="/cgi-bin/wa?LOGON=A3%3Dind1005%26L%3DMASON-INTEREST-L%26E%3Dquoted-printable%26P%3D3605%26B%3D--00504502b46a8216f00485b3cee7%26T%3Dtext%252Fhtml%3B%2520charset%3DISO-8859-1%26pending%3D" target="_parent" >[log in to unmask]</a></a><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

It is possible to save a snapshot of a simulation from the GUI.  However, I would like to do the same from a _headless_ MASON configuration.  That is, I want to run MASON from the command line and have it emit PNG snapshots of the simulation; this will _not_ be from within a GUI.  Is there a convenient way of doing this?<br>
