Save a QwtPlot3D as PDF

[locke]

Hi guys,

I've seen the code in the mesh2 example to print a surfaceplot at pdf.

Here is the code

//FIRST PART
            VectorWriter* handler = (VectorWriter*)IO::outputHandler("PDF");  
            handler->setTextMode(VectorWriter::TEX);
            ////////////////////////////////
 
           // SECOND PART
           VectorWriter* vw = (VectorWriter*)IO::outputHandler("PDF");   
           if (vw)
            vw->setSortMode(VectorWriter::BSPSORT);
            //////////////////////////////////
 
            IO::save(m_3dPlot, "myfile.pdf",  "PDF" );

//FIRST PART
            VectorWriter* handler = (VectorWriter*)IO::outputHandler("PDF");  
            handler->setTextMode(VectorWriter::TEX);
            ////////////////////////////////
 
           // SECOND PART
           VectorWriter* vw = (VectorWriter*)IO::outputHandler("PDF");   
           if (vw)
            vw->setSortMode(VectorWriter::BSPSORT);
            //////////////////////////////////

            IO::save(m_3dPlot, "myfile.pdf",  "PDF" );

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Now the strange things. If I comment out the SECOND PART, a the pdf is created but it contains only the graph and axes (no labels, no numbers, in generl, no text).

If I keep the SECOND PART and commet out the FIRST PART, the the resutl is shown in the attached file.

The text is not saved properly.

Any idea?

Thanks

Better ask questions about QwtPlot3D on its own forum. Micha doesn't listen here.
