We recently upgraded to OI 8 and one of our functions that draws small circles for charting has started behaving strangely. The small circles (that had a radius set to .03 inches) are now showing up as large circles with about a half inch radius. I have tried playing around with different radii and I can't seem to get OIPI to draw a circle with a radius below some unknown value. Below is some test code I have been using and a screenshot of the output. Notice 4 circles are drawn with different radii, but below .2 inches all the circles appear to show the same radius and none of the circles are small (like the dots I need).
		Margin   = '.75':@FM:'.75':@FM:'.75':@FM:'.75':@FM:'8.5':@FM:'11'
		Port = ''
		Output = ''
		Output<1,1> = 3
		Output<1,2> = 0
		Output<1,3> = 0
		Output<1,4> = 0
		Output<1,5> = 0
		Output<1,6> = 7
		Output<2>   = -2	;//-2 for show whole page, -1 for page width, positive number for that zoom
		Landscape_Portrait = 0	;//0 = port, 1 = land
		Landscape_Portrait<2> = 1	;//set units to inches
		stat    = Set_Printer('INIT','Chart','Chart',Margin,Landscape_Portrait,Output,Port<1>:@fm:Port<3>)
		stat = Set_Printer("FILLSTYLE", 0:@fm:0)
		stat = Set_Printer("LINESTYLE", 0:@FM:2)	;//<1> - solid, <2> thickness 2
		Location = 2:@FM:1:@FM:.05
		stat = Set_Printer("DRAWCIRCLE",Location,'')
		Location = 2:@FM:3:@FM:.1
		stat = Set_Printer("DRAWCIRCLE",Location,'')
		Location = 2:@FM:5:@FM:.2
		stat = Set_Printer("DRAWCIRCLE",Location,'')
		Location = 2:@FM:8:@FM:1
		stat = Set_Printer("DRAWCIRCLE",Location,'')
		stat = Set_Printer('TERM')

Ray,

I am getting the same results that you are. We will look into this and get back to you.

Thanks,

Hi Sean,

Thanks for your reply. As mentioned, we just upgraded to Oi 808 from OI 7.21 (worked fine there).

Hope there is a quick fix. Our clients who were using this feature are now looking at us like do-do's. "What did you do?" Nothing!

Thanks again,

Ray Chan

Ray, This has been fixed for release 9.3

Hey, this is getting to be a tired old refrain. "This has been fixed for …."

The thing was working in OI 7.2x, but not in OI808. This is discouraging and very disappointing.

Is there no fix/patch for OI808 to make what was working in OI7.2x right again? It can't be that hard can it?

We moved from OI7.2x because that supposedly wasn't supported. I assume that OI808 is supported by RTI. No? Yes?

Surely, there's another way.
