generate an image from a rendered model

[Stephen Bannasch]

I was brain storming this afternoon with Scott and Sam about how to generate images from models rendered in OTrunk.

My immediate need is to generate images of all the MW, NetLogo, Phet, et al models to be used as placeholders in the RITES authoring system.

The example named "frieda_protein_page_simple" on this page:

  http://continuum.concord.org/otrunk/examples/Rites/ot-index.html

Is the simplest otml I could come up with to show just the MW model Freida made today that she'd like to use in RITES.

This embeds the MW page:

  http://itsi.concord.org/share/mw_activities/test2/page2.cml

Which embeds this model:

  http://itsi.concord.org/share/mw_activities/test2/page2$0.mml

The mml model know's it's size:

from page2$0.mml

    <void property="viewSize">
     <object class="java.awt.Dimension">
      <int>750</int>
      <int>500</int>
     </object>
    </void>

But to represent the model I need a larger image that captures the whole cml page (which doesn't declaratively specify it's size:

  750x640

We created a patch for the OTMLToXHTMLConverter that makes the Converter open each component into a frame and render them before making an image of them.

This patch should not be committed into Trunk unless we add system properties/whatever to turn it on and off.
