HTML page to jpeg Image

[jlipsitz]

Hi

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what the best way to write a program that given html could turn it into an image. Would it be possible to write the html to a JEditorPane and then somehow capture what the JEditorPane is displaying and save it as an image?

Thanks

>>> that given html could turn it into an image.

do you mean display an image in a html page - could you clarify ?

I think what jlipsitz wants is a 'screenshot' of the content of JEditorPane... doesn't make sense to me but that's what it sounds like.

the window that contains the html page should be drawn to screen using a 'Graphics' object. you can get acces to it by extending paintComponent(Graphics g) - in all swing and awt. it's the graphics object you will need to snapshot, but... ...i don't know how to do that. it shouldn't be too difficult, it's a process that's should be well documented for buffering purposes. hope i've pointed you in the right direction.
