Hi, First I would like to thank webkit developers and testers for their wonderful work. I'm trying to understand the webkit code and more especially the webkitgtk part. Bit by bit, I get the picture of the architecture but it's not as easy as I would hope ;)
Currently, I wonder if there's already a way to use the webkitgtk API "offscreen". For example, it would be useful in "headless" applications to print or to render a web page into a Cairo surface from the command line. I plan to do such an application later. I have found the following thread: http://www.nabble.com/get-the-bits-of-the-complete-page-td13907502.html but I don't know if it is possible to use a webkitwebframe without initializing the GTK widget webkitwebview. It's not the right elegant thing to do but for the moment, I had tried something like that: // web_view initialized with webkit_web_view_new() WebCore::Frame* coreframe = webkit_web_view_get_main_frame(web_view)->priv->coreFrame.get(); coreframe->loader()->load(WebCore::ResourceRequest(WebCore::KURL(WebCore::String::fromUTF8(uri)))); coreframe->view()->resize(800, 600); coreframe->forceLayout(); coreframe->view()->adjustViewSize(); int content_width = coreframe->view()->contentsWidth(); int content_height = coreframe->view()->contentsHeight(); cairo_surface_t *surf = cairo_image_surface_create(CAIRO_FORMAT_RGB24, content_width, content_height); cairo_t* cr_surf = cairo_create(surf); WebCore::GraphicsContext ctx_surf(cr_surf); WebCore::IntRect rect(0, 0, content_width, content_height); coreframe->paint(&ctx_surf, rect); cairo_surface_write_to_png(surf, "webkitsurf.png"); but of course it didn't work (empty image). I'm stuck. Does someone give me any clue where I should begin?
