Description

Any attempt to print from the Print Composer causes an error to display stating 'Bad Allocation'. The printer simply prints off a blank sheet of paper (See screen shots of before and after). Once the error has occurred the program freezes and must be closed before doing anything else.

attach/link a project with the necessary data, otherwise it would e hard to understand where is the problem

#2 Updated by peppo - about 13 years ago

I have a small project which also produces a bad allocation error in the print composer. I run QGIS 1.7 on windows 7.
The error only happens, when zoomed to a certain scale in the print composer. The print composition is included in the project.

  • Affected QGIS version set to master

  • Status changed from Open to Feedback

The attached project layer seems having nothing to do with the attached screenshots. There is only one vector while in the screenshots there is also a raster. The vector also seems not related. The composer layout available in the attached project opens empty. Please attach another sample dataset to allow do local tests.

Error "Bad allocation" is connected with type of labeling used in layer.
I tried to print project with several layers (each consist of about one thousand of objects).
Error occurs when I tried to print layers with standard labels created by 'Layer properties' > 'Labels'.
There were no errors during printing the same layers:
  • without any labels,
  • when I created labels by means of option: 'Labeling' from 'Layer' main menu.

Any of the labels buffered? That's especially expensive with the old labeling. BTW in master the "Labels" in layer properties is the new labeling and the old one is "Labels (deprecated)".
