Re: [Plplot-general] label distance from axis, plbox

[António R. T. <ar...@gm...>]

Hi thanks for your interest.
Really it is hard to understand what is happening. Just a little background
I have an application that runs in linux, Mac and Windows and as the people
I work with are not in compile and install stuff in their computers they
use a binary of the application. It works pretty well plplot produces a
raster png file  using cairo driver that is then rendered at screen.before
build the plot the available area in pixels is retrieved and sent to plplot

    plsdev(device);

    plsfnam(filename);

    if(xsize && ysize){

        savedxsize=xsize;

        savedysize=ysize;

    }

       if(device.contains("psc")){

          plspage(0.,0.,savedysize,savedxsize,0,-10);

       }else plspage(dpi,dpi,savedxsize,savedysize,0,0);

}

dpi=0.; I used to have zero instead of dpi but lately i tried to test
if there was a change if

 dpi was different from zero. xsize and ysize are the available
pixels. Well in this new windows

 high dpi screens  fonts get bad positioned and scaled but scaled t
was easy to solve. The more strange

is along side

with rendering the png one can choose to save the plot and in those
cases the plot is again built

for a specific file format. Attach is the result in pdf. What is
exactly equal one can see in the screen and

it puzzles me  how can this be related to the screen density as it is
stored directly on file

 (pdf cairo driver)

as in docs says the fonts height is related with the driver so instead

plschr(o.,fontscale);//character height I'm now using

plschr(somefloat.,fontscale);

as eventually plbox could for some reason take 0 as font size.

in attach a pdf plot that the only interaction with screen was getting
savedxsize,savedysize and then made with pdf cairo driver. and yet it
easy to see labels are in wrong place.

Beam.pdf and also another plot Beam_everywhere.pdf as it is obtained
with the same code in all the others computers MAC, Windows and
linux.



I'm not expecting solutions and unfortunately I cannot play with
computer this is happen  otherwise

i would install plplot there and  would test  the examples.


best wishes
