Scatter Chart and WPdfImage error 1025

Added by Stefan Arndt over 2 years ago

Hi there,
I have a problem here and hope someone can shine some light on this.
Below is a small test program based on "Scatter plot of a function" from the widget gallery (https://www.webtoolkit.eu/widgets/graphics-charts/scatter-plot). Nothing fancy there.
But I get an exception when opening the page:

From reading other posts and looking at the source, I now know the issue could be a problem with libharu. I am using these versions (arch linux):

libharu 2.4.2-1
wt 4.8.0-1

In hpdf_error.h I have "#define HPDF_INVALID_DOCUMENT 0x1025" .. which does not help me at all. I am using a pie chart in other places and it works fine.

Any ideas?

                return app;

I was able to get some more insights. The problem indeed seems to be related to changes in libharu as I have problems running the widgetgallery example provided by the wt package and also compiling Wt from source by myself:

  • before libharu-2.4
    • can run example
    • can compile wt
  • libharu-2.4.0-1
    • cannot run example
    • can compile wt
  • libharu-2.4.2-1
    • cannot run example
    • cannot compile wt

libharu-2.4 is quiet recent (my file is from August 12th). I can live with downgrading libharu for the moment, but this issue might pop up for everyone later anyway.

Here are the compilation errors for reference:

Have you tried compiling Wt on the master branch from source? I recently fixed this issue: https://redmine.webtoolkit.eu/issues/10909

I'll include the bugfix in Wt 4.8.1.

RE: Scatter Chart and WPdfImage error 1025 - Added by Roel Standaert over 2 years ago

Looks like Wt doesn't quite properly compile with version 2.4.2, since they no longer include hpdf_version.h in hpdf.h. That include should be added to WPdfImage.C to make it compile again.

RE: Scatter Chart and WPdfImage error 1025 - Added by Roel Standaert over 2 years ago

It appears to also be necessary to include hpdf_version.h in the widget gallery's PdfRenderer.cpp to make sure it runs HPDF_UseUTFEncodings (otherwise TTF font rendering won't work properly).

RE: Scatter Chart and WPdfImage error 1025 - Added by Stefan Arndt over 2 years ago

Yes, I used the up-to-date master branch when compiling Wt (I should have noted that earlier).

I can confirm that including hpdf_version.h fixes the compilation issues with version 2.4.2.1 and the problem with running the widgetgallery example (scatter chart) is also gone. Thanks :)
