SOLVED: Web display problems: unable to see tilt series or goniometer calibration information in the web interface
Added by Patrick Goetz over 6 years ago
Hi -
We're having problems with some information not displaying through the web interface. I've attached a couple of screen shots. Other users also report not seeing configuration information that they can normally see when viewing images.

Are you missing everything that uses jpgraph ? Is it possible that jpgraph included in myamiweb does not work with your php version ? Goniometer calibration graph depends on whether the users have done such calibration, but tomography tilt model plot certainly should show. Check a single graph in the session summary page, that is the most reliable. If any of the graph works, the problem is not jpgraph.
If the problem is jpgraph not compatible with your php version. Get it from their server, put in library path for myamiweb and see if it works for you.

Hi -
Just getting back to the jpgraph issue. Can you tell me where jpgraph is located in a standard installation? I can't seem to find it in the myamiweb folder.

Oops, never mind. Just realized it's a collection of php files:
root@kraken:/var/www/html/myamiweb/inc# ls jpgraph* jpgraph_antispam-digits.php jpgraph_gradient.php jpgraph_plotmark.inc.php jpgraph_antispam.php jpgraph_iconplot.php jpgraph_polar.php jpgraph_bar.php jpgraph_imgtrans.php jpgraph_radar.php jpgraph_canvas.php jpgraph_legend.inc.php jpgraph_regstat.php jpgraph_canvtools.php jpgraph_line.php jpgraph_rgb.inc.php jpgraph_date.php jpgraph_log.php jpgraph_scatter.php jpgraph_errhandler.inc.php jpgraph.php jpgraph_stock.php jpgraph_error.php jpgraph_pie3d.php jpgraph_text.inc.php jpgraph_flags.php jpgraph_pie.php jpgraph_ttf.inc.php jpgraph_gantt.php jpgraph_plotband.php jpgraph_utils.inc.php jpgraph_gb2312.php jpgraph_plotline.php

We had the same problem on our installation and what fixed it was to comment out line 87 in gd_image.inc.php.

Hi Thomas -
Thanks for the hint, but that fix didn't work for us (nor do I see how it could have). What version of PHP are you using? What linux distribution is it running on? According to the PHP documentation (http://php.net/manual/en/function.imageantialias.php), the imageantialias function should be available on any version of PHP compiled with gd, and since we have the php-gd package installed, I'm assuming our (Ubuntu 16.04) version of PHP 7.0.30 is compiled with gd support.

Hi Patrick,
I agree that it does not make much sense. We are running Ubuntu 16.04 with PHP 5.6 and gd support enabled (at least that is what phpinfo reports). The error seems to be a problem with anti aliasing that is specific to the Debian/Ubuntu implementation of gd and a Google search listed this that as an easy workaround for PHP5. Sorry it doesn't seem to work for PHP7.

Thanks to Tomas to provide that works for him. I am glad to see interaction here.
Patrick, I do not have a solution that I can test. jpgraph we put in the repository is just a version that we know worked at the time. You can move that under another folder and download a version that you know works with php 7 and see if our call still works. jpgraph comes with some examples. You should be able to try it out not through myamiweb first.
Good luck.

Hi, Patrick,
Found an old note when I first got my development MacBook upgraded to High Sierra. At least on my Mac, jpgraph error display did not work right on the pre-installed php 7 because lang/en.inc.php was not in include_path. When there was no error, jpgraph came with myami did work though.
RE: Web display problems: unable to see tilt series or goniometer calibration information in the web interface - Added by Patrick Goetz over 6 years ago
Finally am working my way back to this issue. I downloaded a newer version of jpgraph (4.2.3) but notice there isn't a 1-1 correspondence between the files in the jpgraph tgz file and the related files in ~/myamiweb/inc.
In particular, the new jpgraph includes fonts, lang, and theme folders which aren't present in ~/myamiweb/inc.
Are these features of the newer version only, have they been placed in a different location in myamiweb heierarchy, or are they just unnecessary for myamiweb's purposes? Basically I'm asking if you just copied everything from jpgraph-old_version/src to myamiweb/inc or were only selective elements included in the myamiweb distribution?
I'm including a complete listing of the jpgraph-4.2.3 src folder below:
cnsit@kraken:~/jpgraph-4.2.3/src$ ls barcode jpgraph_iconplot.php Examples jpgraph_imgtrans.php flag_mapping jpgraph_led.php flags.dat jpgraph_legend.inc.php flags_thumb100x100.dat jpgraph_line.php flags_thumb35x35.dat jpgraph_log.php flags_thumb60x60.dat jpgraph_meshinterpolate.inc.php fonts jpgraph_mgraph.php gd_image.inc.php jpgraph.php imageSmoothArc.php jpgraph_pie3d.php imgdata_balls.inc.php jpgraph_pie.php imgdata_bevels.inc.php jpgraph_plotband.php imgdata_diamonds.inc.php jpgraph_plotline.php imgdata_pushpins.inc.php jpgraph_plotmark.inc.php imgdata_squares.inc.php jpgraph_polar.php imgdata_stars.inc.php jpgraph_radar.php jpg-config.inc.php jpgraph_regstat.php jpgraph_antispam-digits.php jpgraph_rgb.inc.php jpgraph_antispam.php jpgraph_scatter.php jpgraph_bar.php jpgraph_stock.php jpgraph_canvas.php jpgraph_table.php jpgraph_canvtools.php jpgraph_text.inc.php jpgraph_contour.php jpgraph_theme.inc.php jpgraph_date.php jpgraph_ttf.inc.php jpgraph_errhandler.inc.php jpgraph_utils.inc.php jpgraph_error.php jpgraph_windrose.php jpgraph_flags.php lang jpgraph_gantt.php README jpgraph_gb2312.php themes jpgraph_gradient.php
(I didn't mention the barcode folder, as I'm pretty sure that's not relevant.

Hi, Patrick,
I do not know for sure but I think lang used to located in other php inc area as built-in. It should not be a problem including them here.
However, I think you should first test its functionality in a stand-alone case by following jpgraph's installation and testing examples from their site before you put it inside myamiweb. This way you will be able to ping point which part has the problem.

Updating jpgraph to 4.2.3 mostly solved the problem. I will document my steps here.
1. Download jpgraph-4.2.3.tar.gz from this location: https://jpgraph.net/download/ and untar into any folder. The files you will need can be found here: ~/jpgraph-4.2.3/src
2. The jpgraph files used by myamiweb are located here: ~/myamiweb/inc
Based on a comparison between the folders, remove the following files from ~/myamiweb/inc
gd_image.inc.php jpgraph_iconplot.php imgdata_balls.inc jpgraph_imgtrans.php imgdata_bevels.inc jpgraph_legend.inc.php imgdata_diamonds.inc jpgraph_line.php imgdata_pushpins.inc jpgraph_log.php imgdata_squares.inc jpgraph.php imgdata_stars.inc jpgraph_pie3d.php jpg-config.inc.php jpgraph_pie.php jpgraph_antispam-digits.php jpgraph_plotband.php jpgraph_antispam.php jpgraph_plotline.php jpgraph_bar.php jpgraph_plotmark.inc.php jpgraph_canvas.php jpgraph_polar.php jpgraph_canvtools.php jpgraph_radar.php jpgraph_date.php jpgraph_regstat.php jpgraph_errhandler.inc.php jpgraph_rgb.inc.php jpgraph_error.php jpgraph_scatter.php jpgraph_flags.php jpgraph_stock.php jpgraph_gantt.php jpgraph_text.inc.php jpgraph_gb2312.php jpgraph_ttf.inc.php jpgraph_gradient.php jpgraph_utils.inc.php
3. The new version of jpgraph includes a number of additional files. Some of these (e.g. bargraph and Examples) are clearly not relevant to myamiweb. These are the files I copied from the src folder to ~/myamiweb/inc:
fonts jpgraph_legend.inc.php gd_image.inc.php jpgraph_line.php imageSmoothArc.php jpgraph_log.php imgdata_balls.inc.php jpgraph_meshinterpolate.inc.php imgdata_bevels.inc.php jpgraph_mgraph.php imgdata_diamonds.inc.php jpgraph.php imgdata_pushpins.inc.php jpgraph_pie3d.php imgdata_squares.inc.php jpgraph_pie.php imgdata_stars.inc.php jpgraph_plotband.php jpg-config.inc.php jpgraph_plotline.php jpgraph_antispam-digits.php jpgraph_plotmark.inc.php jpgraph_antispam.php jpgraph_polar.php jpgraph_bar.php jpgraph_radar.php jpgraph_canvas.php jpgraph_regstat.php jpgraph_canvtools.php jpgraph_rgb.inc.php jpgraph_contour.php jpgraph_scatter.php jpgraph_date.php jpgraph_stock.php jpgraph_errhandler.inc.php jpgraph_table.php jpgraph_error.php jpgraph_text.inc.php jpgraph_flags.php jpgraph_theme.inc.php jpgraph_gantt.php jpgraph_ttf.inc.php jpgraph_gb2312.php jpgraph_utils.inc.php jpgraph_gradient.php jpgraph_windrose.php jpgraph_iconplot.php lang jpgraph_imgtrans.php themes jpgraph_led.php
4. Unfortunately this didn't quite work yet! When trying to generate a graph, I got the following error message:
jpgraph error: 25128 the function imageantialias() is not available in your php installation use the gd version that comes with php and not the standalone version
However I do have the PHP version of gd installed:
root@kraken:/etc/php/7.0/apache2# dpkg -l | grep php | grep gd ii php-gd 1:7.0+35ubuntu6.1 all GD module for PHP [default] ii php7.0-gd 7.0.30-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 amd64 GD module for PHP
Apparently this is a known problem. Multiple web pages suggest the following solution (e.g. http://colekcolek.com/2012/05/16/how-to-fix-jpgraph-error-the-function-imageantialias-is-not-available/ )
Edit the gd_image.inc.php file, commenting out the JpGraphError line in the else { statement:
// Should we use anti-aliasing. Note: This really slows down graphics! function SetAntiAliasing($aFlg=true) { $this->use_anti_aliasing = $aFlg; if( function_exists('imageantialias') ) { imageantialias($this->img,$aFlg); } else { ----> // JpGraphError::RaiseL(25128);//('The function imageantialias() is not available in your PHP installation. Use the GD version that comes with PHP and not the standalone version.') } }
This results in a working jpgraph installation for myamiweb, at least for PHP 7.0.

Patrick,
Thanks for putting the steps you went through here for others to follow.
