Mat, if you're making screenshots for purposes of print, you may want to override the canvas background drawing.
I added two new registry settings in Grasshopper 0.6 called: CustomBackground CustomBackgroundColor you'll find them in this registry folder: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\McNeel\Rhinoceros\4.0\Scheme: Default\Plug- ins\b45a29b1-4343-4035-989e-044e8580d9cf\Settings\ Change the value of CustomBackground to bln-True The default custom background is solid white. If you want another colour, also change the CustomBackgroundColor setting. The 4 integers represent Alpha-Red-Green-Blue (in that order). So if you want perky orange instead, change it to col-255;255;155;0 You have to restart Grasshopper for these changes to work. I'll probably at some point write a bitmap exporter for the canvas. It shouldn't be all that difficult since the drawing code is all there and reasonably flexible already. -- David Rutten [email protected] Robert McNeel & Associates On Mar 19, 12:52 am, Mat <[email protected]> wrote: > That sounds good.
