Hi David,

I have added your request to our wish list and will be considered for inclusion in future releases.

Do you mean creating a metafile that has a single bitmap inside it ?
OpenGL is not a vector format, so it can only return bitmap pictures.

I did not know that OpenGL was impossible to render in metafile format. Does that mean I have to know the final size of my graphic before I render it. That is pretty lousy. How would i render a high res image to the printer. If I do teeCreateBitmap and pass in a bitmap big enough for the printer at 300 dpi, I always run out of memory and crash. Windows doesn't like these huge bitmaps.
