Description Klaus Blum 2019-04-19 22:13:22 UTC
Description:
I have a svg image with very slim rectangles (staff lines, see attached svg file). 
The screen preview is fine when displayed at zoom level 140% and above. 
At zoom level 120% and below, the staff lines are displayed much thicker. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create new Writer/Draw/Impress document
2. Insert image file "OOoLilyPond.svg" (see attached)
3. Increase / decrease zoom level

Actual Results:
In Writer/Draw/Impress, when zoom level is set to 120% or less, screen preview is broken: Staff lines are displayed much too thick. 
PDF export and slide show are not affected. 

Expected Results:
Image preview should be correct at any zoom level.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
I'm not quite sure if a version earlier than 6.2.2.2 has been affected. 
6.1.5.2 release was still without this issue.

Sorry for bumping... 
...has anybody already found something that can help here? Or is this bug of minor importance and won't be fixed in the near future?

Comment 7 Armin Le Grand (allotropia) 2020-01-23 08:41:49 UTC
grepping on my list - probably has to do with LOs speciality to always paint lines with width 0 (zero) as one pixel, independent of zoom...may have to be avoided for SVG subcontent (what may be pretty hard to do)
Comment 8 Armin Le Grand (allotropia) 2020-03-05 08:41:11 UTC
Can reproduce (Linux/Win).
Note & Workarond: Does not happen when right-context-menu at inserted object and 'Break' -> local geometry decomposition.
What is bad since it means that the wrong transform of LineWidth is somewhere inside the SVG stack...
Comment 9 Armin Le Grand (allotropia) 2020-03-05 12:58:50 UTC
Indeed has to do with that: In VclPixelProcessor2D::tryDrawPolygonStrokePrimitive2DDirect there is a test (if(basegfx::fTools::more(fLineWidth, 0.0))) if the pixel target is small enough to fallback to LineWidth==0 what is LO's specialty for Hairlines (defines as one-pixel wide lines, independent from Zoom, originating from ancient times when there was no AntiAliasing).
Commenting out

                    // draw simple hairline
                    fLineWidth = 0.0;

makes it work. This means that on the rendering side (e.g. WinSalGraphicsImpl::drawPolyLine) a back-transformed LineWidth corresponding to one pixel and the given transformation has to be used. Currently a 1.0 is used coming from in-between. Usually this works (e.g. when breaking it up) what means that in SVG context the transformation is set while in Broken state it is empty. Will check that...
Comment 10 Armin Le Grand (allotropia) 2020-03-05 13:03:50 UTC
Adaption is in OutputDevice::DrawPolyLineDirect, thus on the system-independent side. This can be adapted there. It would be better to do that on the system-dependent side and use the hairline-definition through the whole stack.
Comment 11 Armin Le Grand (allotropia) 2020-03-05 13:25:56 UTC
Not that easy - in the system-dependent renderers (grep for bool .*::drawPolyLine) that do not pass the transformation to the trarget graphic system there are corrections of the form

    // need to check/handle LineWidth when ObjectToDevice transformation is used
    const basegfx::B2DVector aDeviceLineWidth(rObjectToDevice * rLineWidth);
    const bool bCorrectLineWidth(aDeviceLineWidth.getX() < 1.0 && rLineWidth.getX() >= 1.0);
    const basegfx::B2DVector aLineWidth(bCorrectLineWidth ? rLineWidth : aDeviceLineWidth);

thus this error *must* be system-dependent.

@KlausBlum, @Dieter, @raal: On which system did you do that...? Please note here, this may get important.

Linux x64 vs Windows x86

Hi Armin,
i can reproduce it both on Linux and Windows
Comment 13 Klaus Blum 2020-03-05 13:36:30 UTC
Hi Armin, 

I had it running on Windows 10 x64.

@Xisco: Do you know which graphic subsystem is active then...?

Comment 16 Xisco Faulí 2020-03-05 14:41:31 UTC
Indeed, the issue is gone is anti-aliasing is not used
Comment 17 Armin Le Grand (allotropia) 2020-03-05 15:56:22 UTC
Yes, NonAA is a factor, but...we have seven Graphic SubSystems:
  - gdiplus
  - skia
  - opengl
  - X11
  - Qt5
  - Quartz
  - Cairo
On Win, it's gdiplus/skia or opengl, on linux it's skia/opengl/X11 or Cairo, ...
Comment 18 Armin Le Grand (allotropia) 2020-03-05 18:17:24 UTC
Decided to do a bigger but necessary cleanup of hairline stuff through all the layers. This might be not without the danger of causing regressions, but I see no alternative. Since we now use PolyPolygon area and line methods that hand over the transformation so that the graphic subsystem can use it directly, it is necessary to be able to handle hairline cases there. Thus, it is necessary to get zero line width through down there and handle it as needed. For subsystems that transform and use just discrete coordinates (pixels) this will be to convert a linewidth of zero (hairline) to 1, for those who use the transformation in the subsystem it means to back-calculate a view-independent, logic line width that will represent a single pixel.
Doing deeper tests on deeper changes. Main work here is to find all ocurrences that by purpose use a 1.0 or B2DVector(1.0, 1.0) for line width - hairline - and replace with 0 resp. 0.0 as needed.
Comment 19 Armin Le Grand (allotropia) 2020-03-05 18:22:31 UTC
There are two caveats:
(1) Places where 1/1.0 is used as line width may cause very thin lines - will need to find these in the future
(2) Had to adapt some of the seven graphic subsystems 'blind', but that will be checked by gerrit
Comment 20 Armin Le Grand (allotropia) 2020-03-05 18:30:50 UTC
1st changes are on https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/90057, but may definitely contain errors yet - using gerrit for test builds on other systems...

Comment 22 Armin Le Grand (allotropia) 2020-03-06 09:13:43 UTC
Have now committed that change to master. I see no more possibilities to test deeper myself - already played around a lot, loaded many bugdocs of the past. This is one of the cases where you need to get it live to get feedback. I will be ready for smaller drawbacks...
Comment 23 Armin Le Grand (allotropia) 2020-03-10 09:01:09 UTC
No hiccups yet - a good sign.
Comment 24 Klaus Blum 2020-03-10 21:23:17 UTC
Tested on Windows 10. Looks good so far. 
Thanks for fixing this!

Is there a chance that this will be backported to a release prior to 7.0.0?

@Xisco - as long as no errors surface, why not...

ok, I tried to cherry-picked it locally but there are many conflicts.
@Armin, feel free to backport yourself if you want to, I'm afraid I could break something if I do it so I prefer not to do it myself

Comment 28 Armin Le Grand (allotropia) 2020-03-30 15:08:47 UTC
As this is complicated stuff (and no proof not breaking anything else) I opt to not port back as long as not urgently requested.
