image export problem (blank text and truncated image)

[ml]

Hi all.

I am working on a graph drawing where nodes are displayed in style 5
with
white color and visible labels (and white background).

Under guess the drawing fits exactly my expectation, and the export to
a
snapshot or a bitmap format works very well.

However, when I export to eps or pdf then the labels are not visible
anymore.

Moreover, when I export to a bitmap image the ellipse around border
nodes
are truncated -- probably a problem with bounding box computation.

Any help?

Thanks for this great software,
ML

I'll take a look, but part of that is a library that I use for image exports that I don't really have control over... 

 

Sorry for the trouble,

BTW, are you using the exportPDF("...") command or doing it from the menu?  If you're doing one, you might want to try the other... I think exportPDF("...") has maybe slightly more sensible parameters (at least on the sample graph I tried).

 

There's also exportPNG() and exportEPS()

Thanks Eytan, I tried these functions. They do not lead to truncated
images anymore (similarily to the screenshot approach, but with the
advantage of being able to produce vector files). However, the vector
file formats still do not display any node labels.

I will use bitmap outpouts, which is ok (it is just less flexible and
generates much larger files).

Thanks again,
ML

I'll play with it some more but I couldn't quite replicate yesterday... I wonder if there's some font issue
