This is vaguely expected. The manual says no windows or fonts are opened, but (I've checked and) the X server is still used for rendering the objects. > Unfortunately, tgif fails also when given a display, and apparently in a > more serious way: > > ================ second example ================ > $ DISPLAY=:0.0 tgif -print -tiffepsi ground_segment_init_coll.obj > Tgif Version 4.1 (patchlevel 34) > > Copyright (C) 1990-2000, William Chia-Wei Cheng > > Reading 'ground_segment_init_coll.obj'... > Invalid Tgif.PsToPdf: 'ps2pdf %s', 'ps2pdf %s %s' is used instead. > Writing to '/tmp/TgifaL58MD'... > Writing to '/tmp/Tgifwjor86'... > XBM file [720x383] printed into '(null)'. > xbmtopbm: EOF / read error > pnmtotiff: EOF / read error reading magic number > EPSI file printed into 'ground_segment_init_coll.eps'. > ================================================ Like Carlo, I can't reproduce this. But the log is extremely suspicious (a normal one looks like Reading 'an-sr-flip-flop.obj'... Writing to '/root/.Tgif/Tgif58tnoP'... Writing to '/root/.Tgif/TgifjaP1lh'... XBM file [408x148] printed into 'an-sr-flip-flop.xbm'. EPSI file printed into 'an-sr-flip-flop.eps'. ) what da "(null)" doin? What's the fallback at the top? This reads to me like something /did/ write the XBP to "(null)". And then subsequent steps looked at the correct file which didn't exist.
