Is there any "best" way of taking screenshots in Manta? I would use GIMP, but whenever I do that the framerate halves (a bit embarrassing).

The fox version has support for this, but the window size is a little bit off. You should be able to build a fox build on arachne, as Abe and I both have done so recently.

Set the fox build path to: /home/sci/abe/build-arachne

Alternately, is there a way to disable the framerate counter?

If you don't want to use the fox build, you can use the regular window. There isn't a way to toggle the fps display, although there is support in the class. Add add this to your command line:

-imagedisplay "opengl(-nodisplayFrameRate)"

Alternatively, you can also write the image to a file by using the file image display. The bench command will tell manta how many frames to dump before exiting. You could leave this off and fly around and just pick the images you want. If you built it with TEEM support you can save as png files. You also need to set the imagetype command, because the file writer doesn't know how to handle bgra images yet.

bin/manta -imagetype rgb8 -imagedisplay "file(-type tga -prefix iso)" -bench
