export! error with png #189
Description
I've been using oz a lot--thanks! My use is very simple: I just create individual plots one at a time.
Using oz 2.0.0-alpha5, I can open my vega-lite specs in a browser using view! and then save to png or svg, and I can use export! to save to an svg file, but not to a png file. I've tried saving to a png with a full file path beginning from /, and using :toformat :png, but the error seems to be the same, as in this example:
user=> (oz/export! plot "~/yo.png")

In case it's relevant:
plotis a vega-lite spec created using Hanami. The spec uses vega-lite's"concat"operator to display nine plots on a grid. The plots use "order" to create paths that don't just go from left to right but in any direction. I'm mentioning that just because it's uncommon. Works fine withview!in the browser, and works fine with svg files despite some warning messages ('WARN Missing type for channel "order", using "quantitative" instead.')plotis huge. I'm going to do something to reduce the amount of data lines in it--that's my next task--but I am avoiding simply throwing away points to reduce the amount of data in the spec. (Just taking every fifth or tenth point won't work in this case, and I'd need to write something more sophisticated.)
I recognize that this might not be an oz error, but rather an error in the lib that export! calls, but I thought I should ask about it here first.
Thanks-
