Sarah, here's how I did it once upon a time. You will need the
"netpbm" package which is available from shareware sites such as
http://www-frec.bull.com
1) Dump the screen using "xwd". Position your map so that no other window
overlaps any portion of the map you want to dump. Enter "xwd -out
filename.xwd". Your cursor will become a crossbar. Click once on the map and
it will dump the screen in xwd format to the filename.xwd file.
2) Convert the xwd file to ppm format using the netpbm "xwdtopnm" utility:
"xwdtopnm filename.xwd > filename.ppm".
3) Convert the ppm file to gif format using the netpbm "ppmtogif" utility:
"ppmtogif filename.ppm > filename.gif".
4) You may now include the gif image in a html document.

Hello.
I was wondering if anyone has found a way to capture an Xdisplay and save
it to a jpg/html format suitable for viewing with a web browser? The web
client only seems to have 3 possible levels of access, all of which allow
for more than I am trying to do, which is to obtain a web browser view of a
map without allowing for any capabilities whatsoever (MIB browsing etc)
other than viewing the topology. Thanks for any input.
