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

[a81c6b42] Compose v0.9.3
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")))
Any suggestions how to fix this?! It is very weird.
@bjarthur can you help?! thank you!
not a problem for me:
try checking out the master branch of Gadfly and Compose with ]dev Gadfly Compose
Same issue I am having in #1572 and here.
@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!
@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])))
@bjarthur these issues are extremely annoying and create a lof of plotting issues.
@bjarthur dev
versions also do not work and produce the same issues.
sorry, but how can i help if i can't reproduce? the code is open source. please have a look.
do you have any suggestions where to start? Are there any known issues with Fontconfig for Windows?
i would guess the bug is in Compose/src/pango.jl somewhere.
@bjarthur
here is another crazy result:
Gadfly.draw(Gadfly.PNG("a.png", 3Gadfly.inch, 3Gadfly.inch), Gadfly.plot(x=1:5000, y=1:5000))
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.
Where in the code the size of generated labels is processed?
Do you have tests in Compose about the size of generated text?
Compose tests fail on windows:

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.
Compose tests should pass once https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General/pull/63655 is merged. this was fixed awhile back. when reporting errors, please first checkout the master branch to confirm they still exist.
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
JuliaGraphics/Cairo.jl#349: is this related?
@Mattriks https://github.com/JuliaGraphics/Cairo.jl/issues/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.
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.
@bjarthur I am also not sure why the axes got flipped?!
@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.
The nbsp error in svg is different, and has been reported elsewhere (google it).
i am not worried about nbsp error @Mattriks . The problem is that figure is weird. Upside down. and crazy titles
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
@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!
[email protected]
did not work for me, but [email protected]
did.
I agree
I confirm with additional testing that [email protected]
is needed. However, [email protected]
and [email protected]
fail!
]pin [email protected]
However, I hope the Gadfly/Compose gets fixed to work with the latest Pango_jll
But this issue doesn't seem to affect MacOS or Linux users, so not easy to fix.
