It has a component to convert to both pdf or an image and uses webkit. http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/ The binaries are standalone and require no special dependencies. The command line is sensitive to the order you place options, but otherwise it works very well. ❧ Brian Mathis ___ 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.

I wrote a few lines to do this, but it involves using firefox, and 'import' from ImageMagick. The first script starts firefox in a virtual frame: === Xvfb :2 -screen 0 1280x1024x24 > /dev/null 2>&1 & export DISPLAY=localhost:2.0 firefox http://ip.of.your.page/page.html & === Then the second script captures/crops what I want: === export DISPLAY=localhost:2.0 import -crop '1024x512+54+235' -window root /path/to/result.png == You'll have to adjust the crop values to what you want. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
