Capture Screen Shot of WorkSpace [message #787488]

Hi

I need to capture the complete worksapce in image file.

I looked into
http://wiki.eclipse.org/RAP/FAQ#How_to_display_dynamically_created_images.3F
which can help me creating the image.

I can get all the viewers/editors information from
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow()

But how to put it on the image????

Thanks
Raj

Hi Raj,

In RAP there is not a way to paint on an SWT Image because the Image class does not implement Drawable in RAP. You will have to use AWT image handling.

It sounds like what you are interested in is taking a screenshot of the RAP application itself. If that is the case, it simply is not possible in a web browser. Here is a good discussion over at StackOverflow[1]. Since RAP runs as HTML and Javascript in the browser, the discussion applies to RAP as well.

Hi Cole

I do not want to do in the browser.

I want to do sometihg like

// Take the snapshot into a display Image. This works very well in SWT.
Point size = myWidget.getSize();
Image image = new Image(display, size.x, size.y);
GC gc = new GC(myWidget);
gc.copyArea(image, 0, 0);
gc.dispose();

but in RAP, we do not have copyArea function.So what is the work around. I know i need to create the image like

private BufferedImage createImage() {
BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage( 200, 200, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB );
Graphics2D gr2d = image.createGraphics();
// draw the image
gr2d.setColor( new Color( 0, 0, 255 ) );
gr2d.drawRect( 0, 0, widht - 1, height - 1 );
...
return image;
}

but how to draw the widgets on the image using gr2d???

I will appreciate for some pointers.

Thanks
Raj

Raj,

In RAP, the widgets are drawn by the browser. The server knows where they are but has no way to render them on the server side. Unfortunately it is simply not possible to do what you are asking.

Hi Cole

I am thinking

1. we can pass the complete html from client to server
2. in the server using the swing(javax.swing.JEditorPane) we can create the image

javax.swing.JEditorPane().setText(<text form client>) ;
                
BufferedImage img = new BufferedImage(prefSize.width, editorPane.getPreferredSize().height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
		
Graphics graphics = img.getGraphics();
editorPane.paint(graphics);
return img;

Now how to get the complete html(view and other stuff on browser) text being displayed on client and send it to server.

Hi Cole

Steps:

1.Get the client HTML using ( http://qooxdoo.org/documentation/0.8/snippets )
2.Create the javascript method which takes above input and call (JSExecutor.executeJS(<method_name>))
3.Add phaselistener to capture the response at server.

HTH

Thanks
Raj
