[IDV #MUG-944695]: capture display as .svg file

Hi Bill-

That's a start. ;-)

If you select the Preview checkbox during the capture, does it show all
time steps in the preview?

I'm unable to reproduce this.  If I have multiple time steps
I only get the currently displayed frame.  Are you animating when
you are saving the image?  Even when I'm animating, I only
get one timestep, however, which one is might not be the one
I want.  What types of displays do you have in each timestep?
