Hi,
Unfortunately the Browser cannot compute a "preferred size" like other
controls because HTML's flowing nature doesn't really prescribe a size.
Even if it did, you would still run into a problem with pages with too much
content to fix on your screen in a maximized Shell.
I think your only hope for doing this is to use a SWT.MOZILLA-style Browser
and use JavaXPCOM to invoke some Mozilla functions to save the image for
you. I don't know which calls you need to make, but I see a Firefox
extension that apparently does this, so you should be able to find the calls
that are needed in its source (it's probably only be a few lines).
(Unfortunately you can't just use the extension as-is in a Browser instance,
see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=181008 ). If you want to
investigate implementing this then the following links should be helpful:

help here. The problem is that I would like an image of the entire web page.
I can only figure out how to obtain a fixed size view of the page.

destination web page. I would like to resize the window to contain the whole
web page and save this to a file with no visible scroll bars. Is it
possible?
