Are you talking about a high-resolution image from
a colored plot on the *display*? Then, no. Garbage
in, garbage out.

If your program was written in such a way that whatever
you were putting on the display could just as easily
be put into a PostScript file (that is to say, you
have read my book or at least paid attention to 20
years of me ranting on the subject), then I would
say you have a very good chance of reaching your
objective. :-)

ImageMagick is probably your friend here:
