Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a determination unit configured to determine coordinate of a region in a web page having a plurality of elements in a structured document, the display region being specified by a user, an extraction unit configured to extract image data corresponding to the coordinate determined by the determination unit in the web page, an output unit configured to output an image based on the image data extracted by the extraction unit, wherein, when the region specified by the user is a part clipped out of an element in the web page, the extraction unit extracts image data of the part of the element corresponding to the coordinate determined by the determination unit.
Claims13
An apparatus comprising:
- an insertion unit configured to insert a region selection object into a structured document corresponding to a web page, wherein the region selection object corresponds to a region selection image for selecting a region on the web page, and the region selection image is superposed on the web page based on the structured document into which the region selection object has been inserted by the insertion unit;
- a determination unit configured to determine the region selected by the region selection image in the web page, according to an instruction from a user;
- and
- an output unit configured to cause an outputting apparatus to output an image corresponding to the region determined by the determination unit, in accordance with a size of an output area for outputting the image.
A method comprising:
- inserting a region selection object into a structured document corresponding to a web page, wherein the region selection object corresponds to a region selection image for selecting a region on the web page, and the region selection image is superposed on the web page based on the structured document into which the region selection object has been inserted;
- determining the region selected by the region selection image in the web page, according to an instruction from a user;
- and
- causing an outputting apparatus to output an image corresponding to the region determined, in accordance with a size of an output area for outputting the image.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to perform a method, the method comprising:
- inserting a region selection object into a structured document corresponding to a web page, wherein the region selection object corresponds to a region selection image for selecting a region on the web page, and the region selection image is superposed on the web page based on the structured document into which the region selection object has been inserted;
- determining the region selected by the region selection image in the web page, according to an instruction from a user;
- and
- causing an outputting apparatus to output an image corresponding to the region determined, in accordance with a size of an output area for outputting the image.
