[webkit-help] Offscreen rendering using webkit gtk+ port

[Luka Napotnik]

Hello.

Thanks for your quick reply. The method ChromeClient::repaint() is
probably the right one. But something strange happens. When I render
the page on a cairo image surface and save the surface to a PNG file,
the image shows the correct page. But when doing the same thing with
my offscreen webkit where there's no visible widget, the image is
still not layed out. The page lacks of any style. Any suggestions?

This is the code where the frame is painted on a cairo surface that I
create before the call:
----------------------------------------------
    Frame* m_frame = core(frame);

    double x1, y1, x2, y2;

    GraphicsContext ctx(cr);
    cairo_fill_extents(cr, &x1, &y1, &x2, &y2);
    IntRect pageRect = IntRect(x1, y1, x2 - x1, y2 - y1);
    ctx.save();
    ctx.clip(pageRect);
    if (m_frame->contentRenderer()) {
        m_frame->view()->layoutIfNeededRecursive();
        m_frame->view()->paint(&ctx, pageRect);
    }
    ctx.restore();
    cairo_new_path(cr);
----------------------------------------------

Anything obvious wrong here?

Greets,
Luka
