Is it possible to create a custom sized virtual desktop (larger than our resolution) so that we could scroll around and pan (so that it acts like a magnifying glass)? Then it would be possible to maximize the firefox browser to fill up the virtual desktop space and take the screenshot of that window.
I am trying to download the map (strava heat map) for Arizona, as image file.
Is there any solution regarding this?
First Edit:
I used the
xrandr --output Virtual1 --mode 800x600 --scale 2.0x2.0 --panning 1600x1200
But could not get the full out of it. The browsers does not go full screen. I could not post the image as I am new. So, desktop has increased the size but browser could not be maximized to fill desktop.
Yes, in Linux, using
xrandr

I don't use your extra parameters. My string is
xrandr --output LVDS1 --panning {width}x{height}
, whereLVDS1
was identified as the primary device on runningxrandr
without parameters. I have just tested UHD4K (3840x2160) and it works fine on Ubuntu. I kept the terminal open so I could reset to standard resolution (in my case 1366x768). Firefox fills the whole space when I press <kbd>F11</kbd>. I use this with screen capture in order to capture a whole web page which is scrolled in standard resolution (similar to your problem). I have no idea if it works on a Mac: you'll have to try it. – AFH – 2015-09-21T16:04:30.173@AFH I used xrandr --output LVDS1 --panning {3840}x{2160} But I received following as an error xrandr: --panning: invalid argument '{3840}x{2160}' Try 'xrandr --help' for more information. Is there anything that I might be doing wrong? – Droko – 2015-09-23T15:24:52.537
Yes, I was using
{}
to indicate a description, rather than a literal string! it should bexrandr --output LVDS1 --panning 3840x2160
