Create neat images of your source code

Example perl to png file

I haven’t found any light weight approaches that can be done completely from the command line, but I have found a nice enough approach.
Step 1: Export from VIM
In vim, type:
:TOhtml


And save the resultant file somewhere. Go in, and swap the text and background hex values (it defaults to black text and white background).

Step 2: View html in firefox
Use the plugin screengrab to export the window to a png

Step 3: Reduce the size of the image
You may not want the entire image to be readable, but just want it for effect.
