There is a problem remaining with the saving of images at a size different from the actual canvas. If a transparent rendering contains opaque objects, the opaque do no come out on top.

I attach two images illustrating the problem:
- image_size_1_r.png was saved with the actual canvas size
- image_size_2_r.png was saved with the double size and then reduced to the original size using imagemagick

The blue object is opaque but is seen transparent in the second image.

This has been fixed in commit 59b1a03, with a workaround.

The problem was indeed the alpha channel, which is why formats
without transparency were saved correctly.

The alpha channel is now removed via a conversion to numpy array
and back. If someone knows how to do this directly on the QImage, please let me know.

The same problem occurs with saving in 'TIFF' format.
The formats BMP, JPEG (JPG), PPM, XPM do not have the problem.
So, save in one of these formats (preferable XPM: it is the smallest non-compressed format) and then convert to PNG/TIF:


convert myimage.xpm myimage.png

Saving an image from onscreen rendering does not work if the requested size is larger than the current viewport. Therefore I have reactivated the virtual rendering for saving images. Selectable via the configuration variable gui/image_virtual. Default is True.

Using offscreen rendering does not work properly (sometimes ok, sometimes transparent) and also has the effect that the image is
not properly rescaled, so you miss some parts if you resize to another aspect ratio.

Therefore I reverted this to using the onscreen rendering engine, using an explicit canvas resize (and back).
(commit c8b2275)


We may later give offscreen rendering a new try in the new opengl engine.

When saving a PNG image, if the user specify a resolution that is different from the viewport resolution, the object is drawn as a transparent object.
