example files

I have problems with the eps-export in LO Draw. The exported eps-files of a odg-figure are distorted. The height/width ratio of the resulting eps file is wrong. This problem occurs with the actual version 4.1.3.2 under Windows and also with 3.5.7.2 under Ubuntu.

In an older version of Draw from June 2010 (no idea which version) this problem did not occur.

Example files are in the attachment: The odg-file, an actual eps export and the old export from June 2010
Comment 1 Joel Madero 2014-07-21 05:22:09 UTC
Ubuntu 14.04 x64
LibreOffice 4.3.0.2 rc

I downloaded the test kit
Opened the odg with Draw
File -> Export, selected eps
Exported

Opened the resulting file with GIMP

Compared the file height/width between Draw and Gimp - both were the same

Closing as WFM. 

If you can reproduce with 4.3.0.2 or later please set the bug back to UNCONFIRMED.

FWIW I see the same width/height with your sample exports. How do you see this as distortion of ratios?

Dear Joel,

thank you for trying to reproduce this error. I tested the export function with the newest version 4.3.0.3. It has still the same distortion.

I don't know which files you compared in GIMP. In order to see this mistake, please compare the contained circles in the figure of the new eps-files with the old version (exampleOldVersion) I submitted. You can see that the height of circles are bigger than their width. Please compare it also with the size in the odg-file. There are nearly perfect circles with Width/Height = 0,7cm/0,69cm.

I found out that the problem can be avoided by setting all margins of the page to 0 cm at the page layout window. Without the margins I have not distortions in any figure.

For comparison I submit the newest distorted eps-file exported with LO 4.3.0.3.

Thank you for your efforts!

Hi jhe,

Confirmed in Linux Mint 3.6.7, 4.2.5, 4.3.1. The export is fine in 3.3.0, as the dimensions are corresponding to the image displayed in Draw.

Dimensions (Width VS Height)
Draw Display : 1 x 3.07
3.3.0 EPS    : 1 x 3.07
4.3.1 EPS    : 1 x 2.68

Bug already there in oldest state of bibisect-43all => notbibisectable.

Bug is still there in 6.0.0.3 / Ubuntu 17.10.

I tested the behavior with version 6.0.7.3 (x64) under Windows 7. The bug is still present.

I do not know how the export with the old version has been done, but it has not be done the same way the export with the current version. Indeed the size of the EPS image (width x height) does not fit the size of the odg page.

That said exporting the odg document as EPS file gives a distorted image. That can be seen on the circles that are ellipsis in the EPS.

To get circles exported as circles, there is a workaround:
1/ in the odg, ctrl+A to select all
2/ right click and choose group
3/ File > Export: take care to check "Selection" in the filepicker.

Tested with

Checking with linux-64-releases bibisect repo, reproduced in 3.4.0rc1 but not with 3.3.4, which is the same as for other formats that don't include the margins in their export (GIF and PNG when transparency is included; EMF). Which is tracked in bug 122155.
There's more details there, so let's consolidate into that newer report.
