+ When you compiled 5.0.1 from source, I suspect you are getting the<br>
old rendering backend too (unless you changed the CMake variable<br>
VTK_RENDERING_BACKEND to OpenGL2). Not entirely sure why export would<br>
fail in that case.

If you keep having trouble, send me a small state file that reproduces the issue and I'll take a look. There are certain cases where the gl2ps exporter will fail to capture all of the details in a scene, though it should produce more than an empty white image.</div><div><br></div><div>Dave </div></div></div></div>
