(Presumably the new cards that support 2560x1600 (...) (20 years ago, 4-Apr-06, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

(...) Okay, that puts me in my place. I hereby recant any prior suggestions about crummy resolution! Now that we have established that OpenGL can produce print-quality images, my question is: Can OpenGL produce instruction-quality graphics? Even (...)

(...) When I create a set of instructions, I use MacMegaPOV/POV-Ray to individually render a super-high-quality image for each step. I then arrange them manually with a page-layout program. My ultimate goal is always to print them. Of course, (...) (20 years ago, 29-Mar-06, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
