My colegue bl8cki is real fan of making screenshots from web browsers. Those days he tries the python solution. And today he surprised all with one very nice firefox plugin
With this plugin you can use firefox with some command line parameters to make screenshots.
Here is how we will use it
- start the xvfb
mkdir /tmp/tmpfbdir
Xvfb :1 -ac -screen 0 1600x1200x24 -fbdir /tmp/tmpfbdir
- run the firefox
firefox-2 --display=:1 --no-xshm -height 1024 -width 768 -savepng http://www.cenite.com

svn co https://cutycapt.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/cutycapt
cd cutycapt/CutyCapt
qmake
make
xvfb-run --server-args="-screen 0, 1024x768x24" ./CutyCapt --url=http://www.google.com --out=example.png
xvfb-run --server-args="-screen 0, 1024x768x24" ./CutyCapt --url=http://www.google.com --out=example.html --out-format=html
