How do I generate a png file w/ selenium/phantomjs from a string?

Question

I am using selenium/phantomjs to create png files of html in python. Is there a way to generate the png from an html string or filehandle (instead of a website)? I've searched through the selenium docs and googled but couldn't find an answer. I have: ``` htmlString = '

This is a png

' myFile = 'tmp.html' f = open(myFile,'w') f.write(htmlString) from selenium import webdriver driver = webdriver.PhantomJS() driver.set_window_size(1024, 768) #driver.get('https://google.com/') # this works fine driver.get(myFile) # passing the file name or htmlString doesn't work...creates a blank png with nothing driver.save_screenshot('screen.png') driver.quit() print "png file created" ```

Accepted Answer

PhantomJS

```
var page = require('webpage').create();
page.open('http://github.com/', function () {
    page.render('github.png');
    phantom.exit();
});
```

This is how to get a screenshot in phantomJS, I've used phantomJS for some time now.

You can find more information here.

Selenium

```
driver = webdriver.Chrome();
driver.get('http://www.google.com');
driver.save_screenshot('out.png');
driver.quit();
```

Hope this helps.
