A US letter-sized page spans 2 tiles at 100% magnification. `render` may be the easiest method because it triggers the code required to gather the required tiles and fuse them into a single image.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Saving a whole page, or user-defined subsections would be pretty easy to do but both tasks would require writing additional code.
