Hi list I have an old script using the CoreGraphics API that's no longer working properly since Snow Leopard. I' running Lion with the default Python, which is 2.7.1. I googled about this and it seems that's because Python is 64-bit now and some old data types don't work anymore.
The first error I got was in the function CGBitmapContextCreateWithColor. The Console spits the following error: --- TypeError: in method 'CGBitmapContextCreateWithColor', argument 4 of type 'CGFloat const [5]' --- My code looks like this: c = CGBitmapContextCreateWithColor(new_Width, new_Height, cs, (0,0,0,0)) The problem is in the last argument "(0, 0, 0, 0)" [a color reference] which, the new API expects to be CGFloatArray. I couldn't find any documentation on how to create such an object in python but, fortunately, I found some code here http://stuffineededtoknow.blogspot.pt/2009_01_01_archive.html that solved this issue: --- bg = CGFloatArray(5) c = CGBitmapContextCreateWithColor(new_Width, new_Height, cs, bg) --- But now I'm getting another error (and I'll probably get some more) with another function that expects a CGFloat object instead of a plain integer. The code looks like this: --- self.pdf.drawPlainTextInRect(text_prov, textRect, 10) --- And the error (again caused by the last argument, in this case "10"): --- TypeError: in method 'CGContext_drawPlainTextInRect', argument 4 of type 'CGFloat' --- I'm sure that it can't be so hard to create a CGFloat but I didn't find the right documentation or sample code to do it. Does anybody know how to do this? Thanks in advance.
