I could make a modification of that and include it in Display2D.

Note: I'd suggest two changes to the arguments of that function

1. It really should be a File, not a String
2. It should also support PDF. I suggest an integer argument differentiating the two.

Also we could call it from the original method to save space.

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

I've attached our modified file. The new method is right after the original takeSnapshot().

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?
