GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 587967
Export and Printing shows none-existing lines
Last modified: 2010-01-24 17:06:48 UTC
Please describe the problem: On certain diagrams, there are thick lines across the drawing when printing or exporting it. Looks like a pen-up / pen-down calculation problem. For export, it affects only some formats (I tested pdf, wmf, bmp, png, tiff with described results. jpg did not show the problem) Steps to reproduce: 1. load the attached diagram (.dia) 2. print or export (e.g. in pdf format) 3. expected result is as in attached .pdf file Actual results: extra lines in printout and in export file Expected results: correct appearance as in the dia canvas Does this happen every time? every time for this diagram. Others are fine. Other information: perhaps one or several of the objects in the library is/are corrupt? The circle?
Created attachment 137962 [details] Context Diagram.dia This is the drawing which I created and want to print.
Created attachment 137963 [details] Context Diagram.pdf The resulting output
Besides of waiting for a bug fix, is there anything I can do myself to overcome the problem? Is there a specific symbol in my diagram which I should avoid to use, so the problem won't occur?
Bugfix pushed: http://git.gnome.org/cgit/dia/commit/?h=dia-0-97&id=789e022e7eee46e4235b81f79b66a4dcbe6a866f Avoiding ellipse or disabling the cairo plug-in are the work-arounds.
confirming solution. It is even sufficient to disable "load at start" for the cairo plug-in. If I need it later, e.g. for creating a PDF file, I can still turn it on for the current session without seeing the problem then. Thanks.
