Image Dump
Image Dump saves the contents of the current NVIZ 
viewer to an image file. Make sure the NVIZ viewer 
is on top of all other windows in the current workspace. If any 
windows cover the NVIZ viewer, they appear as part 
of the saved image. With the exception of the Max. Resolution 
PPM, the image has the same dimensions as the NVIZ 
viewer.

ratio of the oversized image matches the aspect ratio of the original 
NVIZ viewer.
