[pyngl-talk] New version 1.5.0_beta: can't create pdf, newpdf or ps file

[Karin Meier-Fleischer]

Hi,

I'm trying to output the plot to ps or pdf, but ps, pdf and newpdf failed,
eps and epsi creates an correct output file.

Using ps the output file is of size 0.

The mac os x program preview returns an error message that the file is
corrupted. The pdf output file gives the following error message when
opened with ImageMagicks display program:

    **** Error: Cannot find a 'startxref' anywhere in the file.
    **** Warning:  An error occurred while reading an XREF table.
    **** The file has been damaged.  This may have been caused
    **** by a problem while converting or transfering the file.
    **** Ghostscript will attempt to recover the data.
    **** Error:  Trailer is not found.
    No pages will be processed (FirstPage > LastPage).

    **** This file had errors that were repaired or ignored.
    **** Please notify the author of the software that produced this
    **** file that it does not conform to Adobe's published PDF
    **** specification.

display: Postscript delegate failed `py_NCL_cont_fill_map.pdf': No such 
file or directory @ error/pdf.c/ReadPDFImage/713.


Using newpdf gives the following error message running the python script

warning:open_wks: Invalid workstation type, must be 'x11', 'ncgm', 'ps', 
'png', 'pdf', or 'svg'

fatal:_NhlCreate:This object must have a Workstation Ancestor

Any idea?

Bye,
Karin
