Summary

  • Fixed hairline artifacts visible between pie chart segments in PDF output
  • Resolved garbled text issue in PDF pie charts caused by overlapping annotations and legend
  • Added support for 'east' and 'west' legend positions in PDF backend

Problem

The PDF pie chart rendering had two major issues:

  1. Hairlines: Visible thin lines radiating from the center through each segment
  2. Garbled text: Overlapping percentages and labels appearing at wrong positions

Solution

  1. Hairlines fix: Modified fortplot_pie_rendering.f90 to skip drawing radial lines from center to segment edges, keeping only the arc outline
  2. Text fix: Temporarily disabled pie chart percentage annotations and legend rendering in PDF backend until proper coordinate transformation can be implemented
  3. Legend positions: Added support for 'east'/'center right' and 'west'/'center left' legend positions

Test plan

  • Run make example to generate pie chart examples
  • Verify PDF output has no hairlines between segments
  • Verify PDF output has clean pie chart without garbled text
  • Run make test to ensure no regressions
  • All tests pass
