Usage

After adding use Shutterbug::Rackapp to your config.ru file, you can convert pieces of your web-page into png images. Just follow these steps:

1. include the following javascript in your pages: <script src='http://<yourhost:port>/shutterbug/shutterbug.js' type='text/javascript'></script>
2. Elsewhere in your javascript call getDomSnapshot($("#sourceDomID"),$("#imageOutputDomId")); This will replace the contents of $("#imageOutputDomId") with an <img src="http://<yourhost:port>/gete_png/sha1hash> tag which will magically spring into existance.
