Last I checked it wasn't possible, but that was a long time ago. Since this has little to do with Grasshopper and lots to do with the Rhino SDK, I think you'd best ask on the McNeel discourse forum, all the cool developers hang out there.

Thanks David. Not sure if I'm cool enough to hang out there though.

If you don't need an interactive viewport, you can just display a viewcapture:

RhinoDoc doc = RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc;

Rhino.Display.RhinoView rhinoview = doc.Views.ActiveView;

System.Drawing.Bitmap capturescreen = rhinoview.CaptureToBitmap(new System.Drawing.Size(800, 600), false, false, false);

...the code is a few years old, but hopefully still works.

Best,

Johannes
