Strange issue with text in Painter
type: item
description: Hi, Here's a strange issue: When I render a map using Painter, sometimes some letter does not render at all at specific scales. Alternatively, as you can see in the attached picture, it may render at false scale: When rotating the map slightly, the same text renders correctly: ...Unless when the rotation is exactly 90, 180 or 270 degrees, which causes similar scaling error. Another variant is that the letter appears to be completely absent. BUT: when zooming the map, the letter renders perfectly OK. There is no difference if Painter is in MT or ST mode. Finally, this behavior persists for that run of the program only. If I close and restart the program, the same letter will likely render OK all the time, but there may (or may not) be another letter that suffers from the same problem. I think this is some sort of initialization problem with fonts... but who knows. Best regards, Tom

description: Hi, Here's some more. In this picture two of the letters have shrinked in the middle of a word: When zooming in, the text gets fixed: Instead of a testcase, here's a clip of the code I use for rendering the text with Painter: Font fnt(font); fnt.Height((int)floor(height_dp)).Bold(object.bold).Italic(object.italic==1).Underline(object.selected); Pointf p(project.Transform(object.x,object.y)); double rot=object.rotation+rotation; rot+=object.no_rotate?-GetViewRotation():0; painter.Begin(); painter.Translate(p); if(rot) painter.Rotate(-rot*DEGR2RAD); switch(object.italic){ case 2: painter.Transform(Xform2D::Sheer(-0.3)); break; case 3: painter.Transform(Xform2D::Sheer(0.2)); break; } Vector<String> lines=Split(text,10); for(int row=0;row<lines.GetCount();row++){ Size sz=GetTextSize(lines[row],fnt); Pointf delta(0,0); switch(object.attpoint){ case 1: // 1 = Top left break; case 2: // Top Center delta.x=-sz.cx/2; break; case 3: // Top Right delta.x=-sz.cx; break; case 4: // Middle Left delta.y=-sz.cy/2; break; case 5: // Middle Center delta.y=-sz.cy/2; delta.x=-sz.cx/2; break; case 6: // Middle Right delta.y=-sz.cy/2; delta.x=-sz.cx; break; default: case 7: // Bottom Left delta.y=-sz.cy; break; case 8: // Bottom Center delta.y=-sz.cy; delta.x=-sz.cx/2; break; case 9: // Bottom Right delta.y=-sz.cy; delta.x=-sz.cx; break; } delta.y+=row*height_dp*1.5; // sz.cy painter.Text(delta,lines[row],fnt); } if(edgecolor.a) painter.Stroke(height_dp*0.1,edgecolor); painter.Fill(textcolor); painter.End(); Best regards, Tom

Also, if my code change does not solve the problem, try this: void BufferPainter::CharacterOp(const Pointf& p, int ch, Font fnt) { LLOG("@ CharacterOp " << p << ", " << ch << ", " << fnt); #if 1 DoMove0(); PaintCharacter(*this, p, ch, fnt); #else move = current = EndPoint(p, false); auto& m = PathAdd<CharData>(CHAR); m.p = EndPoint(p, false); m.ch = ch; m.fnt = fnt; path_info->ischar = true; EvenOdd(); #endif } (It is similar - removing caching - just on another level)

description: Hi Mirek, The change in ApproximateChar() appears to fix the issue. However, as can be expected, the rendering speed drops dramatically. I will next revert the ApproximateChar() changes and then test the BufferPainter::CharacterOp() change... Best regards, Tom

Re: Strange issue with text in Painter

description: Hi, Also the change in BufferPainter::CharacterOp() seems to fix the issue. Similarly, the rendering speed drops. The special thing about these maps I'm rendering is that they have an extremely small change in the text rotation thorough out the map page as they have been transformed from one coordinate projection to another (Transverse Mercator to Mercator in this case) and this involves a change in text rotation by the amount of meridian convergence value. This boils down to just parts of a degree through out the entire map width. I do not know if the caching gets affected by this or not. I also generated a serialized painting, but it did not exhibit the issue. I think this is because the history for the cache is different and therefore the problem does not show up. Best regards, Tom

Strangely enough, this did not exhibit the problem at all. There are no buggy letters, as far as I could tell from looking around the map for 30 minutes. No asserts either, but that is to be expected as the problem did not surface here... I have been running with MSBT17x64 but I must next look at 32-bit compiler to see if it behaves differently. And maybe test on Linux too to see if the behavior changes. I will continue with this on Monday... As for the transformation matrix, I cannot see a chance for it to change between successive letters. That would require another thread to break the matrix, but this issue happens in ST too, so I think it is next to impossible. Anyway, thanks for your efforts on this so far and have a nice weekend!

description: IDK, I see no issues and as the last try I a have adapted our benchmarking snippet to test zooming in hope that it will reproduce the caching error: #include <CtrlLib/CtrlLib.h> #include <Painter/Painter.h> using namespace Upp; class PainterText : public TopWindow { public: Painting p; FileSel fs; BufferPainter bpainter; double scale = 2; void Open(){ if(fs.ExecuteOpen("Select a painting to view")){ p.Clear(); p.Serialize(FileIn(fs.Get())); } } virtual void MouseWheel(Point p, int zdelta, dword keyflags) { if(zdelta < 0) scale *= 0.8; else scale /= 0.8; Refresh(); } virtual bool Key(dword key, int count){ Refresh(); switch(key){ case K_CTRL_O: Open(); return true; } return false; } typedef PainterText CLASSNAME; PainterText(){ Sizeable(); p.Serialize(FileIn("C:/xxx/PainteTest/T5.painting")); } virtual void Paint(Draw &draw){ ImageBuffer ib(GetSize()); { bpainter.Create(ib); bpainter.Co(false); bpainter.PreClipDashed(); bpainter.Clear(White()); bpainter.EvenOdd(); bpainter.Scale(scale); bpainter.Paint(p); bpainter.Finish(); } SetSurface(draw,Rect(ib.GetSize()),ib,ib.GetSize(),Point(0,0)); } }; GUI_APP_MAIN { PainterText().Run(); } but nothing.... Is not it possible that some new addition to your code is overwritting the cachec? Some dangling pointer perhaps? Mirek

Strangely enough, this did not exhibit the problem at all. There are no buggy letters, as far as I could tell from looking around the map for 30 minutes. No asserts either, but that is to be expected as the problem did not surface here... Well, that is something we can work with... First of all, it would be nice to make sure this really makes differences. Change to #if 0 to resolve this. If this is positive, I would set back to #if 1, retest, if problem is gone, then start removing lines of testing code from the last one until the problem reappears. That should give us some clue...

description: Hi, Yes, I will follow your instructions... starting on Monday. The absolute worst case scenario for me is if I have any pointer issues and corruption of memory thereby. Late last night I started to think that I may have turned off PROTECT flag simultaneously when switching again to DEBUG mode for the test. This may have contributed to disappearance of the problem too. This is something I will have to check first thing on Monday. I mean the effect of working with and without PROTECT. Anyway, I will keep digging. And I wish to thank you for your effort on this. (Hope I have not wasted your time with some stupid mistake of my own.) Thanks and best regards, Tom

BR, Tom What happens if you do void PaintCharacter(Painter& sw, const Pointf& p, int chr, Font font) { GlyphInfo gi = GetGlyphInfo(font, chr); PaintCharPath pw; pw.sw = &sw; if(gi.IsNormal()) font.Render(pw, p.x, p.y, chr); /* else if(gi.IsReplaced()) { Font fnt = font; fnt.Face(gi.lspc); fnt.Height(gi.rspc); fnt.Render(pw, p.x, p.y + font.GetAscent() - fnt.GetAscent(), chr); } else if(gi.IsComposed()) { ComposedGlyph cg; Compose(font, chr, cg); font.Render(pw, p.x, p.y, cg.basic_char); sw.Div(); cg.mark_font.Render(pw, p.x + cg.mark_pos.x, p.y + cg.mark_pos.y, cg.mark_char); }*/ sw.EvenOdd(true); } This should have no impact at all; we are testing branches that do character replacements if characters are missing. But I guess it is worth checking (as everything else fails).

description: Hi, Yes, I'm also out of time for today. Tomorrow I will have time until about 14:00 EET. The first time I noticed this was just last week when I reported it. I had not updated from SVN in a while before that though, so I may need to go back a bit further in time to find that. One potential reason for finding this issue is that I had just recently reached a point in my own code where I started to rotate the texts according to the original scale and rotation, both of which change constantly over the projection surface for maps where a change from one map projection to another has been carried out. In effect this has caused an overwhelming increase in cached fonts here in my application. I think the reason is that when tolerance changes even by the smallest fraction of a double, it necessitates a new cache entry. In my case there will be a huge amount of cache entries. Actually, if the tolerance parameter were made more discrete, e.g. through classing to slots for caching, the problem might not show up at all or at least do it extremely rarely. Then again, I think, the potential issue with caching should be corrected first, if real, and only thereafter should the optimization through classing be implemented. I might have it all wrong here, but this is just a thought. Anyway, Mirek, thanks for your efforts today on the task! Best regards, Tom

description: Yes And: PainterText().MinimizeBox().MaximizeBox().Sizeable().Run(); Is nice to have too to fill the screen. But I still can't reproduce the issue with this. One thing that caught my attention, though, is that the large bold upright texts show up extremely coarse, which is kind of expected due to the original zoom level fitting it all in one UHD screen. But why on earth are those smaller non-bold italic / upright fonts perfectly rendered although they are even smaller in the original view? BR, Tom

It actually looks like setting tolerance to 0.3 is not a good idea... EDIT: tolerance is ok My custom reverse italic (using sheer to lean back) is using standard upright font and the normal italic is using standard italic served by Painter (as is without custom sheer). The ugly characters appear when the font is bold. The names of lakes and other water areas (light blue) are using this reverse italic. Smaller place names are in plain italic. Larger place names are in straight-up bold. Municipalities are in even larger straight-up capital non-bold letters. Best regards, Tom

Is that somehow possible that you have some separate path for them?

I do not know about the missing letters, but the wrong size / wrong italicizing letters tend to come at same size and italicizing as many of the other texts that already occur on the view. BR, Tom

'Paloniemi', which is rendered ugly, is just slightly larger straight up text than the more common place names which are italic... not even bold! Best regards, Tom OK, now I know: There is no separate path for those ugly texts. But I suppose the font size causes some conditional conversion to polygons in Painting. I forced all fonts to be of height 12, and then applied suitable Scale to Painter. As a result all the fonts were (ugly) rendered with precision that was insufficient when zooming in. Then I did this using height 75 and again suitable scale to painter. This time all the texts rendered beautifully in Painting. So I guess the storage format and precision in Painting is dependent on font size. BR, Tom EDIT: I changed font height to 1 and tried again: This time all fonts rendered perfectly!! But, the inter-character spacing precision in words was terrible. EDIT: I think I understand why I cannot send the problem in a painting to you: The Painting is generated ST and characters are partly rendered already, so the error will not show up. I must generate a file with only unrendered characters, which get rendered at your end only.

Besides, in this situation you are just using PaintingPainter, which really just directly stores Painter commands (including TextOp and CharacterOp). And the problem is that those ugly texts get stored as curves. Maybe I am blind, but I do not see a code path that could lead to THAT. Mirek

(As to what got me so confused, those texts are so mangled that I misread the name and then failed to find it in the list...) EDIT: Hinting confirmed. I have added |GGO_UNHINTED to the GetGlyphOutlineW call and problem disappeared... (now in trunk).

Removing "thread__" from "thread__ FontEntry fi_cache[63];" does not have any effect on the problem. Best regards, Tom BTW: Why should the caches be thread_local anyway? Isn't it true that Painter will use the same fonts with a whole bunch of threads when painting in MT? Having them common for all threads would have the used fonts cached after first hit and available to all threads.
