Hi Sumit, I just fixed the example code in the pyabiword module of abiword to give an example of how this works.
The important line in this example is: i.props.pixbuf = abi.render_page_to_image(1) The converts page number 1 to a GdkPixbuf. Once you have a GdkPixbuf, in this case in a Gtk.Image you can convert it to whatever format you wish. >From the PyGtk reference manual http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/ you convert this to an image with: http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gdkpixbuf.html#method-gdkpixbuf--save So if you wanted the GdkPixbuf directly you would do: PagePixbuf = abi.render_page_to_image(1) PagePixbuf.save(filename,"png") Where "filename" is the name of the file you wish to store to. Cheers! Martin PS. here is test.py which shows the feature in action (thanks for the patch tomeu!) ---------------------------------------------------------- #!/usr/bin/python import sys import pygtk pygtk.require('2.0') import gtk import abiword window = gtk.Window() window.set_default_size(640, 480) window.connect('delete-event', gtk.main_quit) box = gtk.VBox() window.add(box) box.show() abi = abiword.Canvas() box.add(abi) abi.show() window.show() b = gtk.Button('render page') box.add(b) b.show() i = gtk.Image() box.add(i) i.show() def _clicked_cb(widget, abi, i): i.props.pixbuf = abi.render_page_to_image(1) b.connect('clicked', lambda widget: _clicked_cb(widget, abi, i)) gtk.main() -------------------------------------------- On Mon, Jul 20, 2009 at 10:43 PM, sumit singh<[email protected]> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > Can anyone please guide me about the proper use of the get_preview function > of the activity.Activity class of sugar.
