Export¶

This section covers everything you can take out of the visualizer: standalone HTML documents, glTF/GLB models, still images, and MP4 video.

Export reads directly from the in-memory scene, so no server is required for the file-producing exports (HTML, glTF, figure snippets):

viz.export_snapshot("scene.html")   # self-contained HTML
viz.export_glb("scene.glb")         # glTF binary
viz.export_figure("figure.html")    # embeddable presentation snippet

Screenshots and video capture are different — they capture the live browser viewport and therefore need the server running (and, for video, ffmpeg on your PATH). Those live in the Video & Image Export page.
