Subject: RiLine vs printing...
Reply-To: jjfeiler@relief.com

The 2D operators, RiLine, RiCurve, etc, are not part of the RenderMan  
spec, but are only part of QuickRenderMan at this point.  As such,  
they will not print.

You might try using a thin cylinder to generate the axes while  
printing.

Something like this

- renderSelf:(N3DCamera *)camera
  {
    if(NXDrawingStatus == NX_DRAWING)
      {
      	RiLine(...);
      }
    else
      {
        RiCylinder(...);
      }
     

    return self;
  }

Hope this helps
	John Feiler

Ciao,

We use RiLine to draw axis' of 3D charts. The 'interactive' renderer  
produces lines  

but when the 3D scene is printed, no lines appear. 


Any suggestions?
