I recorded a script to try to understand how to export a time series of an isosurface as .x3d files so I can muck with them using blender.  But when I look at the script, the crucial bit of exporting the .x3d did not get captured.  Is that part not scriptable?
  How can I go about finding out for myself which file formats can be exported from python scripts, if any?
