I had a play at working at something to do this in the summer. (Since the PAINT_FORCED_AFTER_ONLOAD wasn't supported on Firefox 2 on OS X) It works by dumping the gecko canvas from the DOM to a png which is then loaded by the YWMS plugin. There is a patch for the plugin (which is far from working perfect) And a .xpi for Firefox (works for me on ff2 but you have to click a button to get the file to dump) http://citizen-erased.co.uk/~callum/osm/ I was going to have a look at tidying all this up sometime but havn't had time lately so here it is just now if anyone has suggestions. ~ Callum _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dev
