Configure Frame Capture Parameters
This topic describes how to configure and capture a frame, using the vrplanets example
as the example.
1
In the MATLAB Command Window, type
vrplanets
at the MATLAB command prompt. The Planets example starts.
2
From the Recording menu, choose Capture and Recording Parameters.
The Capture and Recording Parameters dialog box is displayed.
3
Find the Frame Capture section of the dialog. This is located at the top of the
dialog.
The file name %f_anim_%n.tif appears in the first text field, File.
4
Leave this file name as is.
5
In the File Format list, tif or png specify the graphic file format for the captured
frame. The default is tif. For this procedure, leave this format setting at tif.
6
You can disable the navigation panel. The navigation panel appears at the bottom of
the virtual scene view. You might want to turn off this panel for a cleaner view of the
virtual scene. Choose View > Navigation Panel > None.
You can re-enable the Navigation Panel (for example, choose View > Navigation
Panel > Halfbar) after you finish recording the .tif file.
7
Click OK.
With this configuration, each subsequent capture of a scene in the same world
increments the file name number (%n) and saves it in a tif file.
