When I try this:
$graph->set_x_label_font('Arial', 10) || die "Could not open font file:
$!.";;
I get this error:
Could not open font file: No such file or directory.
I get no errors when I give a directory path to the ttf file. If I change
the path to a different directory, one where the ttf is not, I get the same
error as above. Giving the full path is what they do in the documentation
for GD::Graph.
Scott, what do you mean by "Are you specifying a font path"? Isn't that
what I was doing? Like this:
$graph->set_x_label_font('c:\code\perl\arial.ttf', 10);
I forgot to mention that this is running in an ASP page. For those who are
interested, here's the code I'm using to make the graph (inside the asp
file):
#--------------------------------------------------------------
use GD::Graph::lines;
my $graph = GD::Graph::lines->new(650, 250);
$graph->set_x_label_font('e:\intranet\stats\arial.ttf', 10) || die "Could
not open font file: $!.";
$graph->set(
x_label =>
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890',
y_label => 'CPU Utilization',
x_label_position => 0.5, x_labels_vertical => 1,
x_label_skip => 10, y_tick_number => 7,
y_max_value => $max, y_min_value => 0,
y_number_format => "%3d",
t_margin => 16, b_margin => 16,
l_margin => 10, r_margin => 16,
);
my $gd = $graph->plot(\@graphdata);
my $fillColor = $gd->colorAllocate(240,240,240);
$gd->fill(47,18,$fillColor);
open(IMG,">plot_server_time.png") or die ("Failed to write file: $!");
binmode IMG;
print IMG $gd->png();
close IMG;
#--------------------------------------------------------------
