[CentOS] convert webpage to image
What is the easiest way to convert a webpage into a jpg or png file? I've seen several programs that can do various conversions, but nothing open source that can do it in a single conversion. Just wondering if anyone on the list has suggestions for something I can put into a script to convert a webpage into a file I can use with my screensaver. c ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

If you just need what is on your screen, you could use ImageMagick's import command. You select what you need with the mouse, and save it as an image format, for example import myshot.jpg -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

But what if the size of the website is larger than the screen size? I assume the OP wants to see the whole website in a single picture, and the website might span more than a single visible screen (and require scrolling to see the whole thing). All screenshot-related methods would then need to take multiple pictures, scroll the website in the browser a windowfull at a time in all directions, and afterwards calculate how to concatenate all those pictures into a big one. While this can be done in principle, I think that any implementation would get Real Ugly Real Soon(tm). A more reasonable approach would be to have the browser itself dump the image of the site --- the browser is the one actually rendering the thing from html in the first place. Any browser plugins around for this? Best, :-) Marko ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
