GridFlow has a Pd patch to take screenshots of other Pd patches using
X11 (so: GNU/Linux, BSD, etc, possibly OS X, unlikely to work on
Windows), which works for really tall patches (longer than the screen)
by snapping the visible parts in sequence with automated scrolling and
re-assembling into a single image:

the screenshot making patches:

An example very tall image:

Not sure if it also works for really wide patches, not sure if it
magically opens subpatches and screenshots them too, as I've not tried
it myself...
