Gadfly scaling of figures got very much strange after the latest updates #1587

The following produces very weird ouput:

Gadfly.draw(Gadfly.PNG("a.png", 3Gadfly.inch, 3Gadfly.inch), Gadfly.plot(x=rand(10), y=rand(10), Gadfly.Scale.y_sqrt, Gadfly.Geom.point, Gadfly.Guide.xlabel("Time"), Gadfly.Guide.ylabel("Response"), Gadfly.Guide.title("Test")))

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

montyvesselinov · 2022-06-05T17:46:22Z

Any suggestions how to fix this?! It is very weird.

montyvesselinov · 2022-06-05T17:47:45Z

@bjarthur can you help?! thank you!

bjarthur · 2022-06-11T12:28:58Z

not a problem for me:

try checking out the master branch of Gadfly and Compose with ]dev Gadfly Compose

nathanrboyer · 2022-06-16T18:09:17Z

Same issue I am having in #1572 and here.

montyvesselinov · 2022-06-22T12:31:32Z

@bjarthur are there any updates on this. Clearly, Fontconfig causes this problem. Maybe it is only related to Windows machines but it is very annoying and causes many issues. Thank you!

montyvesselinov · 2022-06-25T19:24:20Z

@bjarthur

things get even worse if manual key is implemented:

Gadfly.draw(Gadfly.PNG("a.png", 3Gadfly.inch, 3Gadfly.inch), Gadfly.plot(x=rand(10), y=rand(10), Gadfly.Scale.y_sqrt, Gadfly.Geom.point, Gadfly.Guide.xlabel(""), Gadfly.Guide.ylabel(""), Gadfly.Guide.title("Test"), Gadfly.Guide.manual_color_key("", ["Truth", "Prediction"], ["red", "blue"]; shape=[Gadfly.Shape.circle, Gadfly.Shape.hline])))

montyvesselinov · 2022-06-25T19:25:17Z

@bjarthur these issues are extremely annoying and create a lof of plotting issues.

montyvesselinov · 2022-06-25T19:26:48Z

@bjarthur dev versions also do not work and produce the same issues.

bjarthur · 2022-06-25T20:45:06Z

sorry, but how can i help if i can't reproduce? the code is open source. please have a look.

montyvesselinov · 2022-06-26T10:13:49Z

do you have any suggestions where to start? Are there any known issues with Fontconfig for Windows?

bjarthur · 2022-06-26T18:30:08Z

i would guess the bug is in Compose/src/pango.jl somewhere.

montyvesselinov · 2022-06-27T11:12:41Z

@bjarthur

here is another crazy result:

Gadfly.draw(Gadfly.PNG("a.png", 3Gadfly.inch, 3Gadfly.inch), Gadfly.plot(x=1:5000, y=1:5000))

montyvesselinov · 2022-06-27T11:40:48Z

I guess there is an issue with font rendering. The code incorrectly predicts the size of the axis titles and labels. It is especially pronounced if superscripts are invoked.

montyvesselinov · 2022-06-27T12:11:13Z

Where in the code the size of generated labels is processed?

Do you have tests in Compose about the size of generated text?

montyvesselinov · 2022-06-27T12:12:45Z

bjarthur · 2022-07-04T20:56:21Z

what exactly is crazy? your post is blank. i see:

Gadfly.plot(x=1:5000, y=1:5000)

Gadfly.plot(x=1:5000, y=1:5000, Theme(highlight_width=0mm))

in the former, the blue interior is being hidden by the white outlines.

bjarthur · 2022-07-04T20:57:29Z

Compose tests should pass once JuliaRegistries/General#63655 is merged. this was fixed awhile back. when reporting errors, please first checkout the master branch to confirm they still exist.

bjarthur · 2022-07-04T21:10:03Z

the Compose.jl code i linked above defines max_text_extents. a quick search in Gadfly shows it is used throughout guide.jl.
e.g. https://github.com/GiovineItalia/Gadfly.jl/blob/master/src/guide.jl#L872-L874

Mattriks · 2022-07-04T23:14:15Z

JuliaGraphics/Cairo.jl#349: is this related?

montyvesselinov · 2022-07-05T14:20:29Z

@Mattriks JuliaGraphics/Cairo.jl#349 might be related. But this is potentially not the only problem. Definitely, there are issues with Gadfly/Compose when the font sizes are less than 1 pt. I have observed this as well in the past.

montyvesselinov · 2022-07-05T14:26:13Z

Gadfly.plot(x=1:5000, y=1:5000)

produces

The svg file is attached

as you can see the axis labeling is crazy. the location of the axis titles are crazy.

montyvesselinov · 2022-07-05T14:27:08Z

@bjarthur I am also not sure why the axes got flipped?!

montyvesselinov · 2022-07-05T14:28:47Z

@Mattriks maybe the small fonts used for the superscripts in the figure below create this crazy behavior. However, note here I create SVG file which I do not think uses Cairo.

Mattriks · 2022-07-05T15:51:22Z

The nbsp error in svg is different, and has been reported elsewhere (google it).

montyvesselinov · 2022-07-05T17:21:02Z

i am not worried about nbsp error @Mattriks . The problem is that figure is weird. Upside down. and crazy titles

Mattriks · 2022-07-05T18:18:49Z

Did you check if pinning Pango_jll to an earlier version fixes it? ]pin [email protected]
Your Compose test above shows you have Pango_jll v1.50.3

montyvesselinov · 2022-07-05T19:13:15Z

@Mattriks Excellent suggestion! Both [email protected] and [email protected] work and the problem is fixed. I am fine to stick with an old version of Pango for the moment. However, it will be nice if this issue gets fixed soon or later. Thank you!

nathanrboyer · 2022-07-06T15:55:11Z

[email protected] did not work for me, but [email protected] did.

montyvesselinov · 2022-07-07T15:51:03Z

I agree

I confirm with additional testing that [email protected] is needed. However, [email protected] and [email protected] fail!

]pin [email protected]

montyvesselinov · 2022-07-07T15:51:56Z

However, I hope the Gadfly/Compose gets fixed to work with the latest Pango_jll

Mattriks · 2022-07-07T23:18:29Z

But this issue doesn't seem to affect MacOS or Linux users, so not easy to fix.

montyvesselinov · 2024-01-28T04:28:52Z

This continues to be an issue.

Now I tested it with the latest Julia v.1.10.

The only way to resolve the problem is to use [email protected]

I am not sure why the support for Linux and Mac are only provided.

Many other users use Gadfly on Windows?!

Is there a way to resolve the problem?!

Please let me know. This has been outstanding for about 2 years now.

montyvesselinov · 2024-02-27T00:27:32Z

I confirm that this is still an issue with the latest Pango_jll (Pango_jll v1.50.14+0)

montyvesselinov · 2024-02-27T00:31:41Z

Gadfly.plot(x=1:5, y=1:5)

gives this:

and

Gadfly.plot(x=1:5000, y=1:5000)

produces this

Mattriks · 2024-02-27T01:02:43Z

I wonder if the changes in Pango 1.51.x and 1.52.0 will fix things (https://github.com/GNOME/pango/blob/main/NEWS).

montyvesselinov · 2024-02-27T17:31:32Z

I am also curious. It is just so painful at the moment to rely on old Pango versions.

montyvesselinov · 2024-11-20T18:02:11Z

All these issues have been resolved with the latest version of Pango_jll.
