Public bug reported: Binary package hint: dia
When exporting a PNG Cairo picture, a menu should pop up with the desired image dimensions. This does not happen now with Dia 97-2. What happens now is that a PNG image is generated with default dimensions that are too small by a factor of at least 4, causing most of the image detail to be lost. A work around is to using PNG(anti-aliased). In this case, a size popup appears and you can specify the image size. The default values given are too small by a factor of about 4 and you have to increase the number of pixels. The default values should be calculated based on the smallest features in the images, probably fonts. A reasonable value would be 1 point of the font should translate to 1 pixel in the export image. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 9.10 Release: 9.10 $ apt-cache policy dia dia: Installed: 0.97-2 Candidate: 0.97-2 Version table: *** 0.97-2 0 500 http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/universe Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: dia (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- no image dimension pop-up window for png export https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/503296 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
