Animation shows screen saver

[Daniel G. Downey]

Hi,

   Is there a way to write animation files (Or ppm or tiff or whatever)
without going through a GUI window?  ie., batch mode?  I would like to
use a gui only to orient the object the way I want then say "Run Animation"

  I have written a program that outputs a ppm file of a moving iso-surface.
For each step, save an image, etc.   It works but the %$@$^@ thing saves
anything in front of the GUI window. (Including SCREEN SAVER shots!!)  For 
large datasets it can take hours and you don't dare touch anything or you
get a picture of say your email in the image.

Thanks for any help,
Dan Downey
