generated pdf cut off at y=1000

in Core Library Questions • 2 years ago

hi!

I generate a pdf with this size:

size(1200, 2000, PDF, "testruns.pdf");

My problem is, that the pdf only contains the content that is smaller that the y coordinate of 1000.

Everything below this is not displayed in the resulting painting.

To illustrate: the final line lines should more or less touch the right bottom of my pdf. Instead it is cut off at the middle because my pdf just ends there.

for (int i = 0; i < p.height; i++) {

if (i%10==0)

p.line(0,0,p.width,i);

}

Where can i alter this 1000 limit?

cheers

If this question belongs rather into the general programming section i would kindly ask a moderator to move it there.

It's hard to tell without seeing the whole code, but I would guess that whatever p is has a different size from the main sketch. If you change p.height to simply height does it work?

you can recreate this error very easily:

this code segment that replays the problem (at least it does it for me) was part of an answer on stackexchange by George Profenza, you can see my question there here:

package pdftest;

import processing.core.PApplet;

public class PDFTest extends PApplet {

    public void setup() {
         size(1200, 2000, PDF, "testruns.pdf");
         noLoop();
         for (int i = 0; i < height; i++) if (i % 10 == 0) line(0, 0, width, i);
         exit();
    }

}

I don't have this problem running the setup() function in the PDE, on Windows 7, using Java 1.6.0_25 and Processing 1.5.
The lines go down to the bottom of the PDF page.

Apparently my problem can be replicated as is documented here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6055322/processing-generated-pdf-cut-off-at-y-1000

So, basically i should open a defect, shouldnt i?

cheers
