Place image in a background page

[gbgssoftware]

Greetings,
I create a PDF with custom dimensions.
Inside the page add an image (svg) of the same size as the PDF page.
The PDF page does not size correctly. The image is resized and positioned in the center.

Minimal code

from fpdf import FPDF

image_path = '../t1.svg'
margin_top, margin_left, margin_right = (0, 0, 0)
pdf = FPDF(unit='mm')
pdf.set_margins(margin_left, margin_top, margin_right)
pdf.set_font('Helvetica', style='B', size=10)

pdf.add_page(format=(120,153))
pdf.image(image_path,  x=0, y=0, w=120, h=153)
pdf.output("target.pdf")

Environment

• Operating System: Linux
• Python version:3.11
• fpdf2 version used: fpdf2 @ git+https://github.com/PyFPDF/fpdf2.git@c76329a894d6b362223b5189c6b0f7f1fba43754

What can I do?
Thanks

Hi @gbgssoftware

You did not provide the t1.svg vector image you used in your sample code.
As a consequence, I cannot reproduce the problem that you are having, I'm sorry.

[gbgssoftware]

You are right :-)

Are you aware that this has already been reported ?
cf. #1036

Where is this image coming from?

Umm... Those are two different issues (lack of <style> support vs. positioning) submitted by the same user... 😉

Since they are two different problems, I thought it was correct to open two issues
In this svg file, there are no css styles

You are right, sorry.
The two images looked visually identical, but they are indeed different. My mistake 😅

However, when testing your code, it worked perfectly well using the latest version of fpdf2 from this repo master branch:

pip install git+https://github.com/py-pdf/fpdf2.git@master

There is the resulting PDF:
issue_1047.pdf

We will be releasing a new version of fpdf2 very soon.

Apart from that, is there anything else we can do regarding this @gbgssoftware?
