I'm using multiple pages and the problem is described in that bug - bad placing of photos. Works without problem when using Ghostscript. > Have you tried inkscape? Nice. I didn't know about that nice vector drawer. What Firefox and Corel cannot show, inkscape can. The problem was in page dimensions - when I set the paper to A3 (and graph is bigger), inkscape show the graph and fixing the paper size fix the paper problem. Firefox and Corel cannot probably show the svg with bad paper size (smaller than graph). I didn't realize that svg is not able to tile. Unfortunately, inkscape cannot print with tiling, so I was looking for some printer driver/pdf printer/converter to tile that output. For Windows I found Govert's PDF Tiler (http://www.noliturbare.com/pdf-tools/pdf-tiler) which works for me (just info for others, who will go my way). SVG->PDF->Tiled PDF: the graph quality is much better than directly printing from Gramps into PDF. This is not a complain, it's again just info for others :-) Another issue with svg were fonts. I recommend on Windows to switch in Gramps graph generation to using true type fonts as texts in svg output are better fitting then their boxes (my own experience). > For pdf output, the dpi is always 72. Not usable when I want to print graph with 100 people and their photos. > /Peter Peter, thanks a lot for your response and inkscape info. Martin |
