do you know how you can display the document in different ways such as wireframe or smooth shaded? Is there any way to apply those settings to rendering as well?

If you make an animation you can render with display settings to render the picture (I think that you can render a 1 frame animation).

I dont think you can render in wireframe but you can come close, in p5 anyway. If you select the wireframe view, then click on Render - Anti Alias Document. That cleans up the display window which you can save using export - image. You can do the same with any of the document window styles. Alternatively you could make a wireframe texture by simply loading in a blank uvmap template, that might be a more versatile option. Take care John.

Ooops :) to display in wireframe (again this is p5) you use the document display styles. They are a line of spheres on the bottom left of the screen. John.

You can change the display mode of seperate figures, I had a problem once that had one figure wireframe and the rest were normal solid objects because of that setting.

can you also use it to render/antialias in the cartoon mode?

The anti alias option will work on any display mode :)
