Hello.  I'm looking for a command line option for dumping
out a rendering of a webpage to a PNG and/or EPS file for
use in documentation.  My current application has 50+ 
web screens and when we change a stylesheet, it is very
painful to take screen captures...

Ideally the function would:
 - let me specify PNG or EPS output (for Docbook)
 - let me specify the height/width of the rendering window
 - let me specify the URL where it should be fetched
 - only show content area (no menus, etc)

Is something like this possible, for example...

$ konqueror --dump-png output.png --dump-eps output.eps \
            --width=640 http://server/location

Which would simply fetch the page, render it for a screen
having 640 width, as it would be displayed with CSS styling,
and then save it as a PNG and/or EPS format.

Best,

Clark
P.S. If konqueror can't do this, any tool that will?
