[kepler-dev] Best way to take screenshots of workflow components

[Christopher Brooks]

Hi Faraaz,
Printing to pdf is usually the best way, though it requires non-free
software such as Adobe Acrobat.

If you do a screen capture, then one trick is to make sure you
don't scale the image after capture.

The Ptolemy devel tree has a -printPDF option that prints to the
first printer with the string "PDF" in its name.  It also does things
like sets the background to white.  However, this code is rather hacky,
and is not in Kepler.
