Scruffy Graph is Cropped

Ruby
1

I’m running the Scruffy example for a line graph from
http://scruffy.rubyforge.org/. My code is

require ‘scruffy’

graph = Scruffy::Graph.new
graph.title = “Sample Line Graph”
graph.renderer = Scruffy::Renderers::Standard.new

graph.add :line, 'Example', [20, 100, 70, 30, 106]

graph.render :to => "line_test.svg"
graph.render  :width => 300, :height => 200,
  :to => "line_test.png", :as => 'png'

The output is severely cropped, showing only an incomplete graph (see
attached .png file).

I’ve played with the :width and :height parameters, but just make things
worse. Can someone shed some light on this?

Thanks,

Hi Alex,

Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I’m getting the exact same
behaviour.

I’m on Mac OSX.

Perhaps it’s an ImageMagick version type issue?

Just a check here… am I the Alex you’re addressing? I do recall being
on a Scruffy Graph thread a while back, but don’t recall any specifics.

If I’m the wrong Alex, feel free to disregard. Otherwise, refresh my
memory on the issue? (I’m a list subscriber and so not reading a
threaded version on the website and have no reference to the origin).

Don’t think so, but thanks for the quick reply! Here’s the original
