Hello,

I can't get any chart to work in my project. The examples do work.

I have the following directory-structure:

output (this is my root-directory)
|__libs
...|__Pchart
.........|__classes
.........|__fonts
.........|__examples

If I run localhost/output/libs/Pchart/examples/example.basic.php this works.

I copied the example.basic.php to the output-directory and changed the path.

When I run localhost/output/example.basic.php I get an error:
De afbeelding “http://localhost/output/example.basic.php” kan niet worden weergegeven, omdat deze fouten bevat.
(The image could not be loaded because it contains errors).

Sometimes I get the error: imagettfbbox() [function.imagettfbbox]: Invalid font filename
on line 168 of D:\wamp\www\output\libs\pChart\class\pImage.class

I have tried many different path's to the fonts directory but it doesn't work.

The altered source is show below.

<?php
/* @ 700x230 Really basic code. */

/* Include all the classes */
include("libs/pChart/class/pData.class");
include("libs/pChart/class/pDraw.class");
include("libs/pChart/class/pImage.class");

/* Create your dataset object */
$myData = new pData();

/* Add data in your dataset */
$myData->addPoints(array(1,3,4,3,5));

/* Create a pChart object and associate your dataset */
$myPicture = new pImage(700,230,$myData);

/* Choose a nice font */
$myPicture->setFontProperties(array("FontName"=>"libs/pChart/fonts/Forgotte.ttf","FontSize"=>10));

/* Define the boundaries of the graph area */
$myPicture->setGraphArea(60,40,670,190);

/* Draw the scale, keep everything automatic */
$myPicture->drawScale();

/* Draw the scale, keep everything automatic */
$myPicture->drawSplineChart();

/* Render the picture (choose the best way) */
$myPicture->autoOutput("basic.png");
?>

Problem solved.

jovanduin,
Can you let me know what you did to resolve this. I am sure that it is a simple solution but it appears that I am having the same problem at the moment.

Thanks.

Rexyboy, try this (path to font from pImage class):


Maybe, It will work

I found the problem. As expected it was a silly one. I had a directory of fonts from v1.x and classes from 2.0.8. When I put a clean copy of classes and fonts from 2.0.10 all was good.

Thanks for your help.
