Public bug reported: I'm creating some PDF files with dots of 0 size. In evince, they're visible: they're pretty large and off-center. In other viewers, such as Mac Preview and Adobe Reader on Mac, the dots are not visible.
This code will generate a test file in R. There is a line of 10 dots going from lower left to upper right that should be visible. There's another line of 0mm dots going from upper left to lower right, and they should not be visible. library(grid) pdf("dotsizetest.pdf", width=4, height=4) x <- y <- 1:10 pushViewport(plotViewport(c(5.1, 4.1, 4.1, 2.1))) pushViewport(dataViewport(x, y)) grid.rect() grid.points(x, y) grid.points(x, 10-y, gp=gpar(fill="black"), size=unit(0,"mm")) popViewport(2) dev.off() EXPECTED RESULT: One diagonal line of dots ACTUAL RESULT: Two crossing diagonal lines of dots. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.10 Release: 11.10 $ apt-cache policy evince evince: Installed: 3.2.1-0ubuntu2 Candidate: 3.2.1-0ubuntu2 Version table: *** 3.2.1-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3.2.0-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu/ oneiric/main amd64 Packages ** Affects: evince (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/902033 Title: Size 0 dots are large and visible To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/902033/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
