Problem exporting eps

Postby Pointcom » Tue Jan 31, 2012 9:23 pm

Hi !

I encounter a problem when exporting certain figures (not all) I made from svg to eps format.
All seems fine on my screen, however, once my figure is exported in eps format, a kind of white stripe appears at the bottom of it, cutting the bottom of my figure.

Is something wrong in my figure ? Somebody has an idea ?

I link the svg and the generated (zipped) eps file.

Thank you !

Your figure is ok as far as I can tell (and PDF export is fine too), but the clipping path used for one group in the the drawing (probably you had imported an EPS or PDF file with the original graphic) triggers a bug in the 'cairo' graphics library which Inkscape 0.48 uses for EPS/PS/PDF export.

Attaching an archive with two versions of the EPS file (exported with Inkscape 0.48.2), using an unpatched and patched version of cairo 1.10.2.

Ok, thanks for the answer !

So you mean that I need to update my version of the Cairo library, correct ?

Thanks again !

Unfortunately there is no released version of cairo yet which includes the fix.
