How Do I take a screenshot of my entire map?

I have a map that is a little bigger than the computer screen and I want to take a screen cap of it. Is there any way to put it into a screenshot mode so that it fills only my screen? I've seen people with big maps that have been scaled down for screenshots.
 
There two things that I can think of. You can take multiple screens of different portions of your map and then put them together with a picture editing program(kind of like a jigsaw puzzle.), or the alternative; I believe there is a script which zooms out the map, which I suppose could be used in-game to take screens of the whole map. Although, this might not be the right way to go.

That's a good idea, I didn't think of that. Thanks.

@bojjenclon: I did that but it made the maps too small.
 
Code:
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Instructions :
#
#   Place The Script Below the SDK and Above Main.
#
#   To make a screenshot, use: MapScreenshotMaker.take(filename)

So...

~ Insert SDK
~ Insert MACL 2.1
~ Insert Script
~ Use Call Script with: MapScreenshotMaker.take(filename)
