General Discussion / Error when generating logos in PDF format
« on: November 15, 2017, 05:36:00 pm »
Hi Xiang-Jun,

When I run these commands:

cd examples/MatrixREDUCE/spellman-alpha
sh commandline.sh
LogoGenerator -file=results/psam_001.xml -format=pdf

I get the following error:

GPL Ghostscript 9.19:

  ERROR:
    Can't set GraphicsAlphaBits or TextAlphaBits with a vector device.
Unrecoverable error: rangecheck in .putdeviceprops
system('gs -sOutputFile=./psam_001.pdf \
   -sDEVICE=pdfwrite \
   -dPDFSETTINGS=/printer \
   -dEmbedAllFonts=true \
   -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=340 \
   -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=213 \
   -q -r96 -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE \
   ./temp_logo.eps
') returns nonzero (65280)

The error seems to be triggered by the "-dTextAlphaBits=4" option. When I run "gs" manually without it, it work fine.

Seems that this is a known problem with more recent versions of "gs". I use version 9.19 on a Mac OS 10.11.6.

Thanks,
Harmen
