Description Valter Fukuoka 2016-07-25 03:50:55 UTC
LibreOffice Draw.
OS: Debian Jessie 8.5 GNOME Desktop

When exporting a draw as .PNG, the exported area is restricted to the "within margin" area, but when exporting as .JPG, the exported area is the PAPER SIZE area...

Not sure if it is a planned feature, but it will be nice to have the possibility to export .png and .jpg resulting the same (in this case exporting the entire PAPER SIZE area.

Exporting the left-most arrow from attachment 126392 [details] as png and jpg results in both cases in 183x189 pixels, when I mark _selection_ in the export dialog. Please double-check that you set it correctly.

It's clearly a usability issue, and there are some enhancement request regarding file export (cf. bug 100467).

Difference (exported) as PNG

Using the same procedure to export to .PNG creates a different result...

The issue becomes more striking when you shrink the page height: it results in a squeezed text (export the complete image to PNG). The sample document has a colored background and large margins (5cm). And those are not respected.

Changing the subject accordingly (was: Export .PNG differ from export .JPG) and moving the ticket to component filters. It's an issue for Draw and Impress but not in Writer.

I create a new document using LO Draw.
The default page is 8.5" by 11" in portrait orientation.
The page has the default left, right, top and bottom margins of 0.39", leaving a usable area of 7.72" by 10.22".
I create a graphic, e.g. a square box, of 3.24" by 2" against the top and left margins.
I select File->Export and save the entire page as PNG type.
The width and height are 8.5" by 11" as expected.
The default resolution is 96 pixels per inch which is fine.
I select compression "1" and use the defaults of interlaced and save transparency.
The PNG IHDR chunk confirms the image is 816 by 1056 pixels, which at 96ppi is 8.5" by 11".
The square box graphic I added is now aligned to the top-left of the page image, not to the top left margins I set on the page where I drew it.
The box itself is now rasterized to 344 by 208 pixels. At the 96ppi I selected, this should have been 311 by 192.
Draw exports the area inside the page margins to a PNG to the size of the entire page, scaling it up.

I installed a new instance of LibreOffice version 6.4.5.2 for 64-bit Windows 10 from the web site today.

Could not reproduce in latest master.
Comment 11 Valerio Messina 2024-06-07 08:35:24 UTC
To have the page border in exported PNG, is a nice feature that I want too, better if activable by the user via a check button in export dialog

This is an inherited issue that is related to transparency and is tracked in bug 89828. PNG didn't support transparency back in OOo 3.3, but GIF did and the issue is reproducible with that format too.
