screenshot.py

"""
Example of using CEF browser in off-screen rendering mode
(windowless) to create a screenshot of a web page. This
example doesn't depend on any third party GUI framework.
This example is discussed in Tutorial in the Off-screen
rendering section.

Before running this script you have to install Pillow image
library (PIL module):

    pip install Pillow

With optionl arguments to this script you can resize viewport
so that screenshot includes whole page with height like 5000px
which would be an equivalent of scrolling down multiple pages.
By default when no arguments are provided will load cefpython
project page on Github with 5000px height.

Usage:
    python screenshot.py
    python screenshot.py https://github.com/cztomczak/cefpython 1024 5000
    python screenshot.py https://www.google.com/ncr 1024 768

Tested configurations:
- CEF Python v57.0+
- Pillow 2.3.0 / 4.1.0
