[webkit-help] Rendering HTML page to bitmap

[Matthew Johnson]

I can set the viewport properly via CEF.  The problem, as I mention, in my followup to the first responder is that in order to preserve the correct rendering I can't change the viewport size but I haven't found a way (there currently isn't one via CEF) to get the full page captured to a bitmap without doing that.

I can't completely tell from the QtWebKit post, but it looks like the utility is not capturing the full page, just what is in the defined viewport.  Is that correct?

This is really specific to the port/framework you are using (thus, more like CEF question). The trick is to set the viewport properly.
For QtWebKit, refer to what I showed ages ago:
http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2008/11/03/thumbnail-preview-of-web-page/ or even using http://code.google.com/p/phantomjs/wiki/QuickStart#Rendering.

Capturing the WebView in a single bitmap sounds like a good idea. Even better if you can do it in several steps by setting a proper clipping rect.
