[Dot] IMG tags in HTML labels do not work for PS files
Ported Issue from Mantis Original ID: 882 Reported By: Paulo Pinto
SEVERITY: MAJOR Submitted: 2005-04-25 09:55:28
OS: X86-WINDOWS-XP SP2
VERSION: 2.0
DESCRIPTION
When using HTML labels in nodes, the IMG tag does not work for PostScript files.
dot -Tps bug_img_ps.txt -o bug_img_ps.ps
Command line:
dot -Tps bug_img_ps.txt -o bug_img_ps.ps
I'm using GSView 4.7 and Ghostscript 8.5 under Windows to view the PS files, maybe this is a problem with the viewing software. Note that for a graph that spans multiple pages (with page="8.5,11" attribute), the pages without images display well, but the ones with images report an error.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
[erg] At present, we don't support the conversion necessary to embed a bitmap file into postscript output, nor the other way around either.
[paulo] Any chance of using ImageMagick in Graphviz to handle all your image conversion needs? There is a C API. :)
