Circuits (m4 files) that were shown perfectly in the preview window in Mint 17 are now clipped (surrounded by white space up to the edges of the window). The output PDFs are also clipped. Used Cirkuit 0.4.3, Tex etc. installed from Ubuntu website. Texlive version shown as 2015.21060320-1. It would be appreciated if this incredibly useful program could be fixed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open valves.m4 file 2. Preview 3. Save PDF and open it. Actual Results: Image clipped in viewer so not all the text can be seen. I.e. boundary around image not set correctly. PDF image also clipped. % Example file valves.m4 below: % valves.m4 .PS # Pic input begins with .PS cct_init # Set defaults linethick_(1.0) elen = 1.0 # Variables are allowed; default units are inches Origin: Here # Position names are capitalized move to 0.0, 0.0 line down_ elen*0.0 dot { circle radius elen*0.5 } { line down_ elen*0.2 move left_ elen*0.2 line right_ elen*0.4 } move down_ elen*0.5 move left_ elen*0.5 { move down_ elen*0.35 move right_ elen*0.15 X: dot line to X.x+0.1, X.y+0.1 line right_ elen*0.5 U: Here line to U.x+0.05, U.y-0.05 } move down_ elen*0.45 move right elen*0.3 H1: dot move right elen*0.4 H2: dot arc cw from H1 to H2 radius elen*0.21 "Anode" at (elen*0.0, elen*0.15) #"Grid" at (-elen*0.75, -elen*0.5) "Cathode" at (-elen*0.7, -elen*0.85) "Heater" at (-elen*0.0, -elen*1.15) "\large Diode" at (elen*0.0, -elen*1.5) "\large Triode" at (elen*1.5, -elen*1.5) "\large Pentode" at (elen*3.0, -elen*1.5) move to 1.5, 0.0 line down_ elen*0.0 dot { circle radius elen*0.5 } { line down_ elen*0.2 move left_ elen*0.2 line right_ elen*0.4 } move down_ elen*0.5 move left_ elen*0.5 G: dot { line right_ elen*0.9 dashed } { move down_ elen*0.35 move right_ elen*0.15 X: dot line to X.x+0.1, X.y+0.1 line right_ elen*0.5 U: Here line to U.x+0.05, U.y-0.05 } move down_ elen*0.45 move right elen*0.3 H1: dot move right elen*0.4 H2: dot arc cw from H1 to H2 radius elen*0.21 "Grid" at (elen*0.8, -elen*0.5) move to 3.0, 0.0 line down_ elen*0.0 dot { circle radius elen*0.5 } { line down_ elen*0.2 move left_ elen*0.2 line right_ elen*0.4 } move down_ elen*0.5 move left_ elen*0.5 { dot line right_ elen*0.9 dashed } { move up_ elen*0.1 move right_ elen*0.015 dot line right_ elen*0.9 dashed } { move down_ elen*0.1 move right_ elen*0.015 dot line right_ elen*0.9 dashed } { move down_ elen*0.35 move right_ elen*0.15 X: dot line to X.x+0.1, X.y+0.1 line right_ elen*0.5 U: Here line to U.x+0.05, U.y-0.05 } move down_ elen*0.45 move right elen*0.3 H1: dot move right elen*0.4 H2: dot arc cw from H1 to H2 radius elen*0.21 .PE # Pic input ends
To fix patch src/lib/generator.cpp (replace lines 160-175 with that below). Note epstool must be installed on your system. if (in == Format::Dvi) { if (out == Format::Postscript) { QStringList args; args << formatPath(in) << "-q" << QString("-o %1").arg(formatPath(Format::Postscript)); return execute(new Command("dvips", "", args, this)); } else if (out == Format::Eps) { QStringList args; QString tmpfile = (d->tempFileInfo->baseName()) + QString::fromAscii("-tmp"); args << "-E" << formatPath(in) << "-q" << "-o" << tmpfile.arg(formatPath(Format::Eps)); execute(new Command("dvips", "", args, this)); args.clear(); args << "--bbox" << "--copy" << "--output" << formatPath(Format::Eps) << tmpfile.arg(formatPath(Format::Eps)); return execute(new Command("epstool", "", args, this)); } else { bool b = true; if (!convert(in,Format::Eps)) b = false; if (!convert(Format::Eps,out)) b = false; return b; } }
