[news.eclipse.platform.swt] saving browser image at 300 dpi

[Chris Tomlinson <ct@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I suspect that what I would like to do isn't really feasible in 
Eclipse/SWT; however,

I create an html page dynamically that is rendered very nicely by 
org.eclipse.swt.browser.Browser. What I need to do is save the page as 
an image at 300 dpi rather than the display.getDPI() which is 72 or 96. 
I've tried various approaches including writing the image out at display 
resolution and then resampling with ImageMagick and some java.awt tools 
all of which produce thoroughly icky results.

I looked at the org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Transform and get nowhere since 
I can't see how to associate a Transform with the Browser (which I 
assunme somewhere along the line is involved with a GC). I thought that 
perhaps I could use a scaling transform so that when the Browser renders 
it would be on to an effective area equivalent to 8.5" x 11" at 300 dpi 
(i.e., 2550 x 3300).

If anyone has some thoughts on how to approach the problem or knows that 
it just isn't possible within SWT then I'd very much appreciate the 
feedback.

I'd also add that the JFrame html capability isn't able to handle the 
fonts that I'm working with whereas the SWT Browser (3.1.1 on Mac OX X 
10.4.3) is. Otherwise I'd have a usable awt based solution.

Thanks,
Chris
