Remarks

Options object which might have the following properties:

• path : The file path to save the image to. The screenshot type will be inferred from file extension. If path is a relative path, then it is resolved relative to current working directory. If no path is provided, the image won't be saved to the disk.

• type : Specify screenshot type, can be jpeg, png or webp. Defaults to 'png'.

• quality : The quality of the image, between 0-100. Not applicable to png images.

• fullPage : When true, takes a screenshot of the full scrollable page. Defaults to false.

• clip : An object which specifies clipping region of the page. Should have the following fields:
  - x : x-coordinate of top-left corner of clip area.
  - y : y-coordinate of top-left corner of clip area.
  - width : width of clipping area.
  - height : height of clipping area.

• omitBackground : Hides default white background and allows capturing screenshots with transparency. Defaults to false.

• encoding : The encoding of the image, can be either base64 or binary. Defaults to binary.

• captureBeyondViewport : When true, captures screenshot beyond the viewport. When false, falls back to old behaviour, and cuts the screenshot by the viewport size. Defaults to true.

• fromSurface : When true, captures screenshot from the surface rather than the view. When false, works only in headful mode and ignores page viewport (but not browser window's bounds). Defaults to true.
