x:20, //starting x point
y:40, //startng y point
width : 200,
height: 200
},
saveTo: "croppedImage.png"
})

screenShotUtils.takeScreenshot({
element : element(by.id("main-container")),
dimensions : {

height: 200
},
saveTo: "croppedElementImage.png"
})
Additional Funtionalities:
Override default browser.takeScreenshot()
If your using any html-screenshot reporter in your test,then those reporters will call browser.takeScreenshot()
to capture the screenshot of webpage in case of any failures in test. If you want to override default behaviour of browser.takeScreenshot()
to caputer full page screenshot, you can use,
global.screenShotUtils = new screenShotUtils({
browserInstance : browser,
setAsDefaultScreenshotMethod : true //this will override default browser.takeScreenshot() method to take full page image.
});
And you can now take fullpage screen shot, element screenshot using browser.takeScreenshot() with all options given in above examples.
