Hello all,
I am completely new to TeX, ConTeXt, MetaPost, etc. (Except for some
MathJax snippets and the like.)
I am using Aditya's LMTX package from AUR on Archlinux.
I have some SVGs (generated by the Julia Gadfly package) that
represent 2D plots of some functions, and I would like to include the
SVGs in a ConTeXt document so it ends up as PDF. I started creating
the document by including the SVGs using the new LMTX MetaPost SVG
feature, however at this point I don't know how to proceed...
This is the situation: the source SVGs look fine, but after including
them in the document with the new ConTeXt feature mentioned above, the
bottom-most part of the image is "cut off" (not visible). In the
attached ZIP I included all relevant files (.tex, .svg, .pdf, ...), as
well as PNG screenshots of the PDFs (in case the issue is
PDF-viewer-specific, I'm using Chromium as the PDF viewer).
I tried doing this in two different ways: using includesvgfile with
the offset option, and using startMPcode with setbounds in the MetaFun
code. In both cases I just get blank space instead of the cut-off
content
How can I fix this?
Related question: is it possible to get the MetaPost code that (I
think) the SVG gets translated to? I'm interested in how it looks
like.
Thanks,
Neven

OT but can Gadfly directly produce PDFs? Depending on how complicated plots you want to generate, you can also use metapost graph module or pdfplots package for drawing 2D plots.

Can you check with a desktop pdf viewer as well.

The mailing list has a size limit for attachments, so I think that your zip file did not get included in your message. Could you just include the tex file and maybe upload the svg somewhere and include a link.

Yes it can. Going to try that route if this doesn't work out.

OT, but that wouldn't work for me easily, because I don't actually
know what function I'm plotting - it's a probability density function
estimation (which is similar to a histogram, but continuous), where I
only provide the data points and Gadfly takes care of everything else.

It looks the same with MuPDF.

This is a combined TeX file containing two different ways I took to
try to accomplish the same thing:
\starttext
{\switchtobodyfont[2pt]
{\framed[offset=overlay]{\includesvgfile[../hammingCoderStopwatch-hammingCoder-gcc-RowsSparse-1023-1013.svg][offset=20pt]}}
{some offset}
\startMPcode
draw lmt_svg [
filename =
"../hammingCoderStopwatch-hammingCoder-gcc-RowsSparse-1023-1013.svg"
];
setbounds currentpicture to
boundingbox currentpicture
enlarged 20pt;
\stopMPcode
}
\stoptext
The SVG: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_JsIfA9cgEs5_x7FFJrUWPPe3Ht8JnIm/view?usp=sharing
To be specific, what gets cut off is the bottom half of each number on
the x-axis and the entire x-axis label.
Thanks,
Neven

Hi Neven,
it seems to be an issue with the conversion of the SVG file.
> This is a combined TeX file containing two different ways I took to

How about a much simpler approach?
\starttext
\framed[offset=overlay]
{\externalfigure[hammingCoderStopwatch-hammingCoder-gcc-RowsSparse-1023-1013.svg]
[width=\textwidth, offset=20pt]}
\stoptext
In that case, if you use \externalfigure, ConTeXt will invoke Inkscape
to convert the file. The output is way better.
Just in case it may help,
Pablo

Hans,
I thought it was an issue with the MP conversion of the SVG file.
I was wrong: it is an issue on how LMTX deals with the SVG conversion in
MP. MkIV is totally fine respecting image dimensions.
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

\enabletrackers[metapost.svg.result]
but i have a fix that does clipping different
