Hi
I'm trying to find a way to use one command to redirect Mathematica's
graphics output to a file or pipe it through a command. We have
Mathematica running on a NeXT here but would like to be able to
run it remotely from an X-Terminal and then pipe the graphics to
GhostScript to view. I've been playing around with the Display
and DisplayFunction commands and I've found that this will work on
a one time basis: (this is all one big command)
Display["!/usr/bin/psfix > /tmp/math.ps; /usr/local/bin/gs /tmp/math.ps &",
Plot3D[ Sin[x] Sin[3y], {x, -2, 2}, {y, -2, 2}] ]
However, it's really difficult to do this every time. Is there any
way to set $Display or $DisplayFunction so that all graphics produced
afterwards will be piped to a command?
Thank You
Terry Longrie
