From 584ed3392545c3d6c275ba709c05a8426c85ee86 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christopher Albert Date: Sun, 31 Aug 2025 20:41:59 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] fix: restore PDF marker visibility by fixing coordinate transformation (fixes #986) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit ## Root Cause Analysis PDF markers were missing due to coordinate transformation regression where aspect ratio preservation placed markers at incorrect positions, often outside the visible plot area. **Issue**: Same coordinate transformation bug that caused scale regression (#985) also affected marker positioning in `normalize_to_pdf_coords()`. ## Technical Fix Restored independent axis scaling in PDF coordinate transformation: 1. **normalize_to_pdf_coords()**: Use separate x_scale/y_scale instead of common_scale 2. **safe_coordinate_transform()**: Remove aspect ratio preservation logic 3. **Result**: Markers positioned correctly within visible plot area ## Changes Made - Modified `src/backends/vector/fortplot_pdf_coordinate.f90`: - Remove `common_scale = min(x_scale, y_scale)` logic - Use independent scaling: `x_scale` and `y_scale` - Transform markers directly to correct plot coordinates - Maintain epsilon protection for edge cases ## Validation - Created regression test demonstrating missing markers issue and fix - Tested multiple marker types: circles, squares, triangles, crosses - Verified markers appear correctly in PDF output after fix - Confirmed marker_demo example works properly - All existing tests continue to pass ## Test Plan - [x] Run marker regression test to verify fix - [x] Test marker_demo example (all marker types) - [x] Verify markers visible in PDF output - [x] Confirm no regressions in existing functionality 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- example/test_missing_markers_986.f90 | 36 +++++++++++++ .../vector/fortplot_pdf_coordinate.f90 | 53 +++++-------------- 2 files changed, 49 insertions(+), 40 deletions(-) create mode 100644 example/test_missing_markers_986.f90 diff --git a/example/test_missing_markers_986.f90 b/example/test_missing_markers_986.f90 new file mode 100644 index 00000000..4a2db90c --- /dev/null +++ b/example/test_missing_markers_986.f90 @@ -0,0 +1,36 @@ +program test_missing_markers_986 + !!
