I would like to be able to save the UCSC genome browser image view generated by the browserView method in rtracklayer without having to manually do it from the browser. Is this possible?

I.e.   for the example:

session <- browserSession()
  browserView(session,
              GRangesForUCSCGenome("hg19", "chr2", IRanges(20000, 50000)))
  ## only view "knownGene" track
  browserView(session, track = "knownGene")

Something like

browserView(session, track = "knownGene", save = "UCSCview.pdf")

Is that possible? Or is there a similar solution? I know tracks can be exported as bed files.

Many thanks.

Jim

you can use genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgRenderTracks to obtain only the image for a given configuration. 

the parameters are documented here:
