Package: xpdf-reader
Version: 3.00-13.6
Severity: normal

Hi!

It seems that Xpdf lacks support for "shading type 4".
Or maybe the following behaviour is caused by a bug, I don't know...

Steps to reproduce the misbehaviour on a sarge box:

  # aptitude install mayavi
  $ mayavi /usr/share/doc/mayavi/examples/heart.mv

Using menus, select

  File -> Save Scene to -> Vector PS/EPS/PDF/Tex (GL2PS)

In the dialog window, enter "foo" as File name and click on the Save
button.
In the next dialog window, select SetFileFormatToPDF and click on the
Close button.

  $ xpdf foo.pdf
  Error: Unimplemented shading type 4     \
  Error: Unimplemented shading type 4     |
  Error: Unimplemented shading type 4      >  56 lines (in total)
  [...]                                   |
  Error: Unimplemented shading type 4     /

The PDF file is not completely shown.  That is to say, some graphical
elements are not displayed: the background is white rather than gray,
the central isosurface is missing, along with the central vertical
plane, the color legend is invisible.

Another PDF viewer (gv) is able to display the file correctly:

  $ gv foo.pdf

and gv (slowly) shows the visualization with correct colors and
no missing element.
