Q: Is there a way to capture/print/export hydrogen output area?

Is there a way to capture/print/export hydrogen output area? Simple print option would do for I have pdf printer, but it seems that Atom is lacking in that department greatly. Any suggestions/ideas?

Thx

Are you looking for more functionality than clicking/cmd-clicking the icon in the bottom right of the output bubble?

@dnowacki-usgs - allow me to clarify:

1. Copy to clipboard is only available when clock icon is active but not with list icon (the one next to it) - i.e. when all input is available on the screen, copying all of it to clipboard is not offered. Screenshot below.
2. Only text seems to be copied - when output contains e.g. a matplotlib chart - ctrl-copy reports 'Nothing to copy'. Screenshot below.

My printing would need to include all output (list icon option) and print everything including matplotlib charts - just as shown on the screen. I hope this clarifies it - please let me know if you'd need any other explanation.

It would be great if the output is automatically put in a code block.

This is standard in emacs and in statEclipse when I was using it many years ago.

This way the output is available of future sessions.

Cheers.

keeping this here for eventually adding output to pdf

const { BrowserWindow } = require('electron').remote
const fs = require('fs')

let win = new BrowserWindow({ width: 800, height: 600 })
//win.loadURL('http://github.com')
win.loadURL('data:text/html,<span>hi</span>')

win.webContents.on('did-finish-load', () => {
  // Use default printing options
  win.webContents.printToPDF({}, (error, data) => {
    if (error) throw error
    fs.writeFile('/tmp/print.pdf', data, (error) => {
      if (error) throw error
      console.log('Write PDF successfully.')
    })
  })
})
