MacOSX 10.7.5 graphics.end() problem?

[mschuster]

Testing new script version on MacOXS 10.7.5.

Install is PI-macosx10.6-x86_64-01.08.02.1098-20140624-c.zip with all updates.

I am seeing this error on graphics.end() on a viewport onPaint that draws a bitmap. Current script code below.

Should I not call end()? Or maybe graphics is initialized incorrectly?

Thanks,
Mike

Edit: 10.7.5 may be too old to worry about. As a workaround, I added a try/catch around the end() to catch and ignore the error. Seems to work. Is this OK?

Your code is correct. For some reason the graphics context finishes painting behind the scenes, before you call Graphics.end(). Of course this should not happen, and I doubt it has something to do with the host platform or the version of Mac OS X, since graphics generation code is 100% platform independent.

We have code like this in many scripts and it works without problems, so we have some odd interaction with the rest of your script here. Your workaround is correct and cannot break anything. When we return on September, we'll investigate this to discover the cause of this error. Sorry for the trouble.

OK, Thank you!
