I need an open-source website thumbnail generation package.

The technology behind it is commercial. Anyone know of an open-source package that can do the same thing?

I have a rough idea of what it would take to write one, but I'm not feeling motivated to do so, especially if one already exists.

I'm on a Mac, and don't feel like setting up X on it, so I haven't checked it out.

Heh, I was afraid of that. That's a thumbnail generator. I can do that myself. ;-) Thanks though, and welcome to WebmasterWorld!

What I need is a program that pulls html, renders it internally, then generates an image of that render. Without user intervention.

I could script a browser to do it, but that's very resource intensive. I'm also looking at possibly using the rendering code from Mozilla and writing the darned thing myself, but programming isn't my first love. :)

Have you ever heard of khtml2png? The sourceforge project is at [freshmeat.net...]
