This example demonstrates a command-line tool for capturing full-page screenshots of websites using MacRuby and WebKit. It shows a configurable web capture system that loads a URL, optionally resizes the viewport, waits for a specified delay, and saves the rendered page as a PNG. The code relies on the WebKit framework’s WebView and frame load delegation, alongside NSBitmapImageRep to rasterize the view’s content. Users specify options like width, height, output filename, and delay via Ruby’s OptionParser.

This example uses a Ruby script to capture full-page screenshots of websites by automating a hidden WebView. It first loads a given URL, waits for the page to finish rendering, then saves the rendered content as a PNG file. The code leverages MacRuby’s WebKit framework, specifically `WebView` and `NSBitmapImageRep`, to render and capture the page. It supports optional width, height, delay, and output filename parameters, with a default width of 1024 pixels and a fallback to ruby-lang.org if no URL is provided.

Darkroom is a Ruby script that captures full-page screenshots of websites. It loads a specified URL into an off-screen WebKit view, waits for the page to finish loading, and then saves the rendered content as a PNG file. The code leverages the OSX Cocoa and Webkit frameworks to create and control the browser view, and it uses `NSBitmapImageRep` to capture and encode the final image. The tool accepts command-line options to set the output filename and dimensions.

Take a snapshot of a page with phantom JS

This example captures a static snapshot of a live web page using PhantomJS. It loads the DC Metro Metrics daily service report for February 23, 2015, then waits five seconds before writing the rendered HTML content to standard output, producing a full page dump. The code relies on PhantomJS’s `webpage` and `system` modules, setting a Chrome user-agent and using `page.open` with a callback and `setTimeout` to ensure the page finishes rendering. The result is a saved HTML file that preserves the report’s final visual state.

Screen Recording to GIF

This example demonstrates a command-line workflow for converting a QuickTime screen recording into an optimized GIF. It first uses ffmpeg to extract frames at 24 fps, then ImageMagick’s `convert` to build a palette from the first frame, remap all frames with `-remap` for color reduction, and finally gifsicle with `--optimize=3` to compress the output. A resize option via gifsicle shows how to scale the final image, while the code notes alternative tools like LICEcap and the trade-offs of uploading MOV files to Twitter.

This example tests the archival fidelity of a web page by loading a series of images and scripts that mimic dynamic behavior, including DOM manipulation, AJAX requests, and delayed updates. It uses JavaScript’s `XMLHttpRequest` to fetch remote images and replaces them via base64 data URLs, while `setTimeout` and scroll events trigger asynchronous content changes. The page is rendered within an iframe by the pywb web archiving tool, with a banner and rewrite layer applied. The visualization demonstrates how archived sites handle live interactions and resource loading over time.

This example demonstrates a code snippet from a Merb global helper function that dynamically scales image dimensions while maintaining an 18-pixel vertical baseline. The function `scaled_image_tag` adjusts an image’s width to a maximum value and proportionally recalculates its height, rounding down to the nearest multiple of 18 to preserve grid alignment. It uses the Ruby `image_tag` helper from the Merb framework’s view layer, relying on standard hash options to pass width and height parameters. The code illustrates a practical rendering approach for responsive image handling in server-side templates, with no client-side visualization or data source involved.

Basic Window Loading a URL

This example demonstrates a Sketch plugin that opens a floating panel and loads a remote SVG image from the Sketch website into a web view. The plugin uses AppKit’s `NSPanel` to create a borderless, floating window with hidden minimize and zoom buttons. It initializes a `WKWebView` from the WebKit framework, configures it with developer extras enabled, and loads the specified URL via `NSURLRequest`. The panel is centered and kept on top using `NSFloatingWindowLevel`.

This visualization shows the result of running Ruby code that attempts to load `rake/compiletask` twice, failing both times with a `LoadError` because the file does not exist. It presents a terminal session where the user first checks the MacRuby version, then tries to require the missing library, and finally verifies that `rake` loads successfully but the specific compile task file remains unavailable. The example uses the Ruby `require` method and the `rake` gem’s API to demonstrate a common error-handling scenario, highlighting the difference between loading a gem and accessing a non-existent sub-file. The data source is the literal command-line output and error messages from the user’s shell.
