Readded functionality:

    Restore ability to scale gl2ps linewidth/pointsize.
    
    The functions:
    
    static void vtkGL2PSExporter::SetGlobalLineWidthFactor(float);
    static void vtkGL2PSExporter::SetGlobalPointSizeFactor(float);
    
    were removed during the GL2PS rewrite. This patch restores the
    functionality by adding LineWidthFactor and PointSizeFactor ivars to
    vtkGL2PSExporter and the associated setters:
    
    void vtkGL2PSExporter::SetLineWidthFactor(float)
    void vtkGL2PSExporter::SetPointSizeFactor(float)
    
    These attributes are specific to the vtkGL2PSExporter instances, while
    the old implementation stored them in global variables.
    
    A vtkOpenGLGL2PSHelper is added to RenderingOpenGL that fakes the
    GL2PS function calls needed to update line width, point size, and
    stipple state. The public static methods are called from the rendering
    code when the GL state is changed to inform GL2PS of the change. The
    vtkOpenGLGL2PSHelper class is used to update GL2PS without introducing
    a dependency on vtkgl2ps to vtkRenderingOpenGL.
    
    The TestContextGL2PS unit test is modified to ensure that 1.0 scaling
    factors are used.
    
    The vtkGL2PSContextDevice::StippleOn was not used, and is removed in
    this commit.

David,
Is this bug fix testable? How do you do it? Thanks - Alan

In can be tested in the ParaView GUI by going to

File >> Export Scene

and exporting a PDF/SVG/PS/EPS file. The export dialog that shows up has two new options, one for line width scaling and another for point size scaling. Changing these should affect the exported image.

Dave,
I tried what you suggested, and did not see any changes whatsoever with regards to line width. I did as follows:

Linux, Master, remote server.
can.exo. Apply. Wireframe.
Export Scene. Choose name, and .pdf. Change line width to 10 (and also to 0 in another output).

What am I doing wrong?

Hi Alan,

I forgot to mention -- disable the "rasterize 3D geometry" option to see the effect. Otherwise it embeds the raw pixel data, rather than exporting the lines as vectors.
