# Troubleshooting

For a more up-to-date list see `http://www.dickimaw-books.com/apps/jpgfdraw/faq/`

1. Jpgfdraw's response time is very slow.

   The response time has improved with version 0.5b, however the following things can still slow Jpgfdraw's reaction time: setting the anti-aliasing on; setting the rendering to quality instead of speed; using a dash pattern with a zero length gap (use a solid line instead).

   In addition, if you don't have much memory available, high magnifications, displaying the grid and having a high number of subdivisions on the grid may also slow response time.

2. Sometimes lines don't show up.

   If you have a thin line and the magnification is small or you have low resolution, the line may be too thin to show up on your display. Try either using a thicker line style or increasing the magnification.

3. When I try clicking on the canvas to add a new point, nothing happens.

   Make sure that you are actually clicking and not dragging. (Some touch sensitive mouse pads can mistake a click for a move or drag.) Make sure that you have selected the correct tool.

4. I tried changing the line/text style but nothing happened.

   Remember to use the Edit->Path and Edit->Text submenus to change the styles for existing objects, and use Settings->Styles... for all subsequent new objects.

5. I tried to create a package based on the `flowfram` package, but it didn't define some (or all) of my frames.

   Remember to identify each
   as a flow frame, a dynamic frame or a static frame. Any
   that hasn't been thus identified will not be written to the sty file.

6. I get an error when I try to LaTeX a `pgfpicture` environment created by Jpgfdraw.

   Remember to include the `pgf` package. Jpgfdraw was tested using version 1.01 of the `pgf` package. It may not work with earlier versions.

7. I changed the screen mode whilst Jpgfdraw was running, and 1in on the canvas no longer displays as 1in on the screen.

   The mapping between
   and screen pixels is computed on startup to improve Jpgfdraw's reaction time, so it doesn't register the change in screen mode. The Bitmap->Refresh menu item will update the scaling factor.
