[Bioc-devel] Need help figuring out GeometryDoesNotContainImage-error on machv2-build for chimeraviz

Fri Apr 24 06:39:53 CEST 2020

Hi Kylie,

I get the warnings on merida1 for Cardinal too e.g. when I run the code 
in the Cardinal-2-stats vignette:

     merida1:vignettes biocbuild$ pwd
     /Users/biocbuild/bbs-3.10-bioc/meat/Cardinal/vignettes

     merida1:vignettes biocbuild$ R CMD Stangle Cardinal-2-stats.Rmd
     Output file:  Cardinal-2-stats.R

     merida1:vignettes biocbuild$ R
     ...
     > source("Cardinal-2-stats.R", echo=TRUE)
     ...
     There were 14 warnings (use warnings() to see them)
     > warnings()
     Warning messages:
     1: In rect(left, top, r, b, angle = angle, density = density,  ... :
       semi-transparency is not supported on this device: reported only 
once per page
     2: In rect(left, top, r, b, angle = angle, density = density,  ... :
       semi-transparency is not supported on this device: reported only 
once per page
     ...

The thing is that 'R CMD build' does not display warnings, unless there 
is an error. Maybe that's why you've never seen them until now because 
of the error you have on machv2 (and other platforms).

It's be interesting to know if the plots included in the vignette are 
actually OK. Have you checked them? You can do this by installing the 
Mac binary for Cardinal in BioC 3.10 with:

     BiocManager::install("Cardinal", type="mac.el-capitan.binary")

(make sure you do this in R 3.6). This will install the vignette 
generated on merida1. Then open the vignette via 
browseVignettes("Cardinal") and check the plots. Do they look ok despite 
the "semi-transparency" problem?

Thanks,
H.
