Hi,

you can change the background color either by using yade's controller -
>Display OpenGLRenderer bgColor

or by using python:

from yade import qt
qtr = qt.Renderer()
qtr.bgColor=[1,1,1]

To get a single figure of the current view just use a screen-shot (print
screen). If you want to save figures periodically during a simulation you
should use the SnapshotEngine.

You can also hit "v" to save a pdf figure.
Type "h" in the 3D view to see available keys.
