Class ImageRenderer

java.lang.Object
  org.xhtmlrenderer.simple.ImageRenderer

public class ImageRenderer
extends Object

ImageRenderer supports rendering of XHTML documents to image formats, writing out the generated image to an outputstream or a file in a given image formate. There are two static utility methods, one for rendering a URL, #renderToImage(String,String) and one for rendering a File, #renderToImage(java.io.File,String)

You can use this utility from the command line by passing in the URL or file location as first parameter, and output file path as second parameter:

 java -cp %classpath% org.xhtmlrenderer.simple.ImageRenderer  
 

If the second parameters is not provided, a PNG-format image will be created in the same directory as the source (if source is a file) or as a temp file in the standard temp directory; the output file name will be printed out in either case.

Image width must always be supplied; height is determined automatically.
