OFF SCREEN RENDERING

Size and Scaling
Screen shot: Screen copy will be saved into a file with no other changes.
Image width: The screen image will be exported with the specified width.
Image height: The screen image will be exported with the specified height.
Scale: The screen image will be exported with the specified scale.
Image options
Rendering resolution: Resolution of the image file used when image size or scale are specified.
Image size: Image size in pixels and uncompressed bytes calculated from previous settings.
White background: Force white background in exported image.
KNOWN BUGS
Sometimes empty rectangles appear in off screen rendered file. Changing the window size usually helps.
* Crashes have been observed on intel graphics cards unless the
texture initialisations are removed in the code.
* Stereo mode does not work correctly on some graphics adapters.
* This help does not work.
