[Scilab-users] Vectorial export to PDF

[Adelson Oliveira]

Hi,

Scilab (5.4.0) allows for exporting figures to vectorial and bitmat formats
as, for example, PDF and PNG.
Sometimes I hide portions of a picture using a white rectangle. This brings
no problem for bitmap formats. Vectorial formats are different.

The following code draws a white rectangle over an empty box in Scilab
5.4.0. I converted it to PNG and PDF (attachments) formats. A comparison
between them shows that in the PDF file the white rectangle is over the
surrounding box while the PNG doesn't show it.

What can be done to have PDF and PNG files looking equally ?

Scilab code:

xfpolys([0;[0:18]';18],[0;ones(19,1);0],-8)
plot2d(0,0,1,"012"," ",[0,0,21,2])

PS: For a visible rectangle, change the xfpolys command to,

xfpolys([0;[0:18]';18],[0;ones(19,1);0],-1)
