[kepler-dev] image representation of workflow

[Christopher Brooks]

Hi Paul,
A month or two ago, I hacked in a -printPDF option into
ptolemy/actor/gui/MoMLApplication.java.  This command line argument
looks for the first printer with PDF in the name, sets the background
to white and prints.  It is a hack.

The advantage of using PDF is that it prints much better than a bitmap.

It would be nice if there was a way to export a bitmap, probably png.
