fix: PNG backend annotation_demo oversized text overlaps plot title (fixes #1687)#1824
Conversation
#1687) The title used a hardcoded pixel value (TITLE_FONT_SIZE=20) that was DPI-unaware, while annotation text converted font_size from points to pixels via font_size*dpi/72. At 100 DPI, a 16pt annotation (22.22px) was larger than the 20px title, causing visual inconsistency. Introduce TITLE_FONT_SIZE_PT=14pt (matplotlib default) and compute DPI-aware pixel height as TITLE_FONT_SIZE_PT*dpi/72 for all raster title rendering paths. The title-annotation size ratio is now consistent with the point-size relationship across all DPIs. - src/text/fortplot_text_layout.f90: add TITLE_FONT_SIZE_PT constant - src/text/fortplot_text_rendering.f90: re-export TITLE_FONT_SIZE_PT - src/backends/raster/fortplot_raster_labels.f90: DPI-aware title fsize - src/figures/management/fortplot_subplot_rendering.f90: DPI-aware suptitle - test/test_dpi_aware_title_1687.f90: regression test

Issue-Resolution Checklist
| Issue #1687 Requirement | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| "SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS" renders disproportionately large | ✅ Fixed | DPI-aware 14pt title (19.44px@100DPI) vs 16pt annotation (22.22px), ratio 1.14 |
| Consistent title/annotation size ratio across DPIs | ✅ Fixed | Verified at 72/100/150 DPI in test |
| Annotations do not overlap title | Font size helps but no placement guard added; "SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS" at figure y=0.95 still near title | |
| Annotation arrow points outside visible plot area | ❌ Not addressed | No arrow clipping changes |
| Rotated text "Transition Zone" inside plot data area | ❌ Not addressed | No placement changes |
Reviewer Fix Applied
Fixed test/test_title_centering_raster.f90 which broke due to the PR changing title font computation from hardcoded TITLE_FONT_SIZE=20 to DPI-aware TITLE_FONT_SIZE_PT*dpi/72. Updated test to match new computation. Committed as 3f2bec5.
Blocking: Unaddressed Issue Requirements
The issue description explicitly calls out two additional problems beyond font size:
-
Arrow clipping: "An annotation arrow points to coordinates outside the visible plot area (bottom-right corner goes outside the figure boundary)." The PR makes no changes to arrow clipping logic.
-
Rotated text placement: "The rotated text 'Transition Zone' appears to be placed inside the plot data area." The PR makes no changes to text placement logic.
Per review rules: "request_changes whenever any issue requirement is unaddressed/incomplete/incorrect — hand back to the implementer, do NOT fix requirement gaps yourself."
Deferred (polish, not blocking)
src/figures/management/fortplot_subplot_layout.f90:265still usesreal(TITLE_FONT_SIZE, wp)(20px) for layout margin estimation instead of DPI-aware value. Minor (0.56px difference at 100 DPI) but inconsistent.src/text/fortplot_text.f90facade does not re-exportTITLE_FONT_SIZE_PT.
Verdict
request_changes — two explicit issue requirements (arrow clipping, rotated text placement) are not addressed. Please either:
- Extend the PR to cover all issues mentioned in #1687, or
- Clarify which issues are in scope and file separate issues for the rest.

test_title_centering_raster imports TITLE_FONT_SIZE_PT from fortplot_text, but it was only defined in fortplot_text_layout without being re-exported. Causes compilation failure on Windows and any platform enforcing strict module visibility.
Summary
Make the title font size DPI-aware to ensure consistent visual hierarchy between title and annotation text across all DPIs.
Root Cause
The title used a hardcoded pixel value (
TITLE_FONT_SIZE = 20) that was DPI-unaware, while annotation text convertedfont_sizefrom points to pixels viafont_size * dpi / 72.0. At 100 DPI, a 16pt annotation (22.22px) was larger than the 20px title, making the annotation appear "disproportionately large" and causing overlap with the title in the annotation_demo example.Fix
Introduce
TITLE_FONT_SIZE_PT = 14.0_wp(matplotlib default title size in points) and compute DPI-aware pixel height asTITLE_FONT_SIZE_PT * dpi / 72.0for all raster title rendering paths. The title-annotation size ratio is now consistent with the point-size relationship (16pt/14pt ≈ 1.14) across all DPIs.Changes
