[GRASS-dev] [GRASS GIS] #2114: m.nviz.image does not work on Windows

#2114: m.nviz.image does not work on Windows

Keywords: m.nviz.image | Platform: MSWindows 7

--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Module m.nviz.image does not create valid image file on Windows. With tif
format, it crashes and with ppm it creates a file only with header. So
offscreen rendering doesn't seem to work. Has m.nviz.image ever worked on
Windows?

was the wingrass version in question built with libtiff support?

see lib/ogsf/gsd_img_tif.c, nothing too complicated in there.
gsd_img_ppm.c is even simpler. If header part is ok but writing the rest
of the ppm image isn't, perhaps gsd_getimage() is returning bad values for
xsize and ysize?

I don't know if anyone ever tested that; does saving as tiff or ppm from
the G6 tcl/tk NVIZ on wingrass work?

It worked I guess but I am talking here about off-screen rendering which
is different than just exporting image with opened window with (wx)nviz.

I asked because G6's tcl/tk NVIZ and m.nviz.image both use libogsf's
GS_write_ppm() which calls gsd_getimage() to get the image size. I was
trying to narrow down if the gsd_getimage() function was where the problem
lies.
