Hi guys! Is it possible to make a screenshot of a webpage? I really need to make a screenshot and cut out part of a page. I guess it will be pretty hard :) thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hey, press the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard. Then paste the Screenshot in a graphic program. zok On 1 Mrz., 11:41, Pawel Jur <rails-mailing-l...-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Hi guys! > > Is it possible to make a screenshot of a webpage?

There is an absolutely fantastic outstanding (I''m not affiliated but I absolutely love it) plugin for Firefox called Fireshot. I think this is the URL for it: http://screenshot-program.com/fireshot/ In my opinion, it''s really useful for capturing a screenshot of either the visible area or the entire page - and also lets you annotate it. I promise you that you won''t use anything else :) Cheers, Mohit. 3/1/2008 | 9:13 PM. zok wrote:> Hey, > > press the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard. > Then paste the Screenshot in a graphic program. > > zok > > On 1 Mrz., 11:41, Pawel Jur <rails-mailing-l...-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote: > >> Hi guys! >> >> Is it possible to make a screenshot of a webpage?

You can use Firefox "headless" to take screenshots of web pages. Google "firefox headless" for a few solutions. --Jeremy On Sat, Mar 1, 2008 at 9:02 AM, Pawel Jur <rails-mailing-list-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > zok wrote: > > Hey, > > > > press the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard. > > Then paste the Screenshot in a graphic program. > > > > zok > > > thanks > > But I was thinking how to do it from a web application (for example > cutting out the google map i displayed on the screen) > > -- > Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. > > > > > >-- http://jeremymcanally.com/ http://entp.com Read my books: Ruby in Practice (http://manning.com/mcanally/) My free Ruby e-book (http://humblelittlerubybook.com/) Or, my blogs: http://mrneighborly.com http://rubyinpractice.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Do you want to capture a portion of the end user''s screen by using a Rails app? That won''t work. You''ll need to get something like a Java applet - that /might/ work. If you want to capture a screenshot on the "server" where you Rails scripts are running - and you want to try to do a screenshot in response to a web request, you could look at a recent thread on the Ruby (not Rails) mailing list - I think there''s something called win 32 screenshot (you should be able to find it in the archives of that list). Finally, if you are actually planning to take a screenshot of a screen on the server in response to a web request, good luck! What happens if you receive 2 or 3 requests at the same time? Will you be able to prepare the screen to be clean enough for each capture. I wouldn''t think that this is a very good way.

Might want to also check out a little app called Paparazzi. It is for the Mac only, but works perfectly for taking screen shots. --Cory On Mar 1, 5:41 am, Pawel Jur <rails-mailing-l...-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Hi guys! > > Is it possible to make a screenshot of a webpage?

I have these links that I have saved because they print out really crappy and waist a lot of paper so I can''t print them out, but with Fireshot I can get a screen shot of the entire page (even the parts taht are not currently visible), it is really cool!

There is a great online service for creating web page screen shots: http://mythumbshot.com/ You could pull the image from the service in code (after it makes the screen shot) and use an image library to cut it up. -Jim --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
