Spreadsheet export .png?

Hi all. I have a couple tables in a spreadsheet that I want to include in an app as images. I tried Calc and gnumeric, but they can only seem to save a chart as an image, not the table directly.

Other than taking a screenshot and cropping it, any suggestions?

Upload to Google Drive, Check the document and download as a PDF, upload the PDF to Google Drive, open it in Drive Viewer, right click on it and save the image as PNG.

or bypass making a google+ account

in Libreoffice export as a pdf
import the pdf into The Gimp and save as a png

unless you want to do everything in the terminal bypassing the GUI
-- that is for a different post

or by "table" are you referring to a coma separated value ( CSV) file

No I was just referring to an image of the values laid out in a grid, not a CSV. I think in version 2 I'll probably export the CSV, and construct a TableView in the app.

For now I ended up just printscreening and cropping with pinta, the resolution was good enough and it was pretty quick.
I was really hoping at least one OSS spreadsheet could export an image of the cells in one swoop, sort of like print to file, type png (just as you can print to file, pdf).

Thanks for the suggestions though.
