Plot Viewer is not working anymore - how to fix? - matplotlib

I am currently working with VS Code and the Jupyter Extension. Until today the GUI of the Extension looked like this: old gui
But today this GUI changed to something like this: new gui
Problem is: If I now plot something I cannot open it in the Plot Viewer (before: double-clicking on the image would open it in a new file) but only save it in very low quality:
old version
vs.
new version
The 'Expand Image' Button is gone and now there is only a 'Save As' Button.
The GUI only changes to the newer version if I reopen the files. As long as a file is open in VS Code the old GUI remains and I can still open the images.
I already tried out to use older version of the Jupyter Extension, but it did not help.
If you need more in order to help, please write it and I will provide it.
The problem is probably very trivial but at this point, I am just very confused.
Thanks in advance and have a great day.

So I've found out that the Plot Viewer is no longer supported but will be added again soon.
Until then, if you want to use the Plot Viewer you need to do the following:
Install an older version of the Yupiter Extension (2021.2.0 worked for me).
this version does not work with the newest version of vs code
Install older Version of VS Code (https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_57 worked for me).
After VS Code is installed you can open it and disable the auto update inside the VS Code settings.
Now you should be able to work with the old Jupyter Extension that includes the Plot Viewer.
If you update the Jupyter Extension you will need to do the above steps again.
Maybe this can help some lost souls searching for the old Plot Viewer.

Microsoft Access - Missing Reference to acrobat.tlb

I am working with a Microsoft Access database that was mostly completed in Access 2010, and now I am opening it on a new computer that has Access 2013.
Upon opening the program, it tells me,
"Microsoft Access database or project contains a missing or broken reference to the file 'acrobat.tlb' version 1.1."
I have done some research, and I know that I need to go into the VB code and go under tools->references. Now under here it lists the working references then says,
"MISSING: Adobe Acrobat 10.0 Type Library"
So now I understand, that I need to give it the reference to that .tlb file. I am good up to here, but whenever I try to browse I can never find this file. I just downloaded Adobe, so I know I have the most recent version.
I saw a couple places in my research that you can just uncheck the box and try compiling again. This however does not work for me. it needs this reference for several things I am doing.
Has anyone ever had this problem or have any guidance for me?
Thank you!
I'm not 100% on this, but loading Adobe by itself may not give you the library you are looking for. You could need the file which is located in the SDK (which happens to be free) adobe site. Try installing this, and see if you can navigate to the tlb.
SQL hound was right. To expand on what he suggested and be more specific for this issue for those with this problem in the future, you need to download the Acrobat DC SDK (not the air one). In InterappCommunicationSupport/Headers you will find acrobat.tlb.
I am using Access 2013 and Acrobat Pro version 11.0.
I have looked for the file "acrobat.tlb" on my drives.
Found it under: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat"
In the Visual Basic Code "tools/references", I clicked "Browse" and went to the location I have found, selected the file and clicked OK.
Returning back to "tools/references", the "Adobe Acrobat 10.0 Type Library" is now available and selected.
I have run minimal code to open and show the number of pages of the opened "pdf" document and it returned the proper number of pages.
Just so you know:
I now remember that there was a selection called only "acrobat", it is now gone. Must have been caused by selecting manually the desired file.
Maybe that selection was pointing to the "acrobat.tlb" file.
You can see the full path and name of the file corresponding to the selected library name at the bottom of the reference window.
I had the same problem but I had a Missing reference to "...Adobe 9...Type Library..." I unchecked that and tryed with, "Acrobat Access 3.0 Type Library" futher down. Then it worked.

Why is Texmaker not refreshing the pdf?

I am changing a LaTeX document in Texmaker and apparently the pdf does not get updated and I don't know why. I have as quick Build pdflatex + view pdf.
I am using Texmaker version 4.4.1 in Windows 7.
Before I was using the same tex file in another version of Texmaker and it worked, but know that I am trying to change things in the new version it doesn't.
It doesn't matter what I change in the latex file, it won't show any errors or anything while compiling, and when finished there is no change in the pdf at all.
Do you know what could be the cause for this issue?
Thank you very much to everyone!

Why is the font in the new IntelliJ IDEA 14.1 not rendering properly?

I've just upgraded IntelliJ IDEA (ultimate) to Version 14.1 and the font used in the Project View, Menus and Dialogs seems not to be rendering correctly. I exported the same settings from my 14.0.3 version just in case, although they seem identical, but it still remained the same. I didn't do any changes to the JDK or anything, and if I run the old version the font changes back to the nice and crisp one. I am using Ubuntu 14.04. This problem does not happen on Windows 7.
Under IntelliJ IDEA 14.0.3:
Under IntelliJ IDEA 14.1:
In the new one the font seems to be a bit larger (even though in both cases I they are set to Font Size 22, and I imported the settings from the previous IntelliJ IDEA installation). Notice how for example the 'g' is cut off underneath. There are also other problems where the text is misaligned on the buttons, or not fully visible in dialog boxes.
Usually this doesn't happen when I upgrade. Is there some way to make the font look like before? Did something changed in this latest version and I need to do some JVM switch in the startup script or something?
Update: 5/11/2015
Just updated to IntelliJ 15, and the problem is still there.
Attached new screenshot. Notice how the text is cut out at the bottom where there are letters like p and y, and the button text is offset.
Seconding an earlier response to this question, I have also have had great luck fixing font rendering issues on IntelliJ using tuxjdk. Tuxjdk is a JDK for the IDE, while any applications you're coding on runs in their own project configured JDK such as Oracle or OpenJDK. Here are the instructions:
The following fetches, unpacks, and moves the version you need to /usr/lib, then cleans up the archive. Modify /usr/lib to wherever you like to keep your JDKs.
wget http://urshulyak.com:85/jdk-8u5-tuxjdk-b08.tar.gz
tar -zxvf jdk-8u5-tuxjdk-b08.tar.gz
sudo mv jdk-8u5-tuxjdk-b08 /usr/lib
rm jdk-8u5-tuxjdk-b08.tar.gz
Open up idea.sh in your IntelliJ application folder /idea-IU-141.*/bin. Change the following line at the bottom of the script from
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$IDE_BIN_HOME:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" "$JDK/bin/java" \
to
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$IDE_BIN_HOME:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" "/usr/lib/jdk-8u5-tuxjdk-b08/bin/java" \
That's it. This made huge font improvements for me in Ubuntu 14.04.
UPDATE (by OP)
This solution is the best so far (until JetBrains decide to fix it properly).
I would just add the line: IDEA_JDK="/usr/lib/jdk-8u25-tuxjdk/" to the top of idea.sh, which the script checks before resorting to JDK_HOME etc. (so is probably the recommended way) rather than messing with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
In my case I got nicely rendered but huge fonts with this solution. In order to fix it I had to do an extra fix from Appearance & Behaviour -> Appearance
I chose the 'not recommended' option to Override default fonts by Arial size 12. This was the best effect I got so far.
I am using OSX. It may not help.
Double tap shift and search for 'Switch IDE boot JDK'. Try different JDKs if there are.
This might not be the answer you are looking for - but ever since I've started using tuxjdk, I haven't had problems any more with font rendering & intellij on ubuntu. Maybe give it a try?
If you're willing to use the IntelliJ 15 EAP, there is an option for antialiasing (default is checked for me) that appears to match how it was rendered in 14. The option is under Appearance & Behavior -> Appearance:
I have tried all of the command-line arguments to try to get this behavior in 14.1, but was unsuccessful.

Can't paste fontawesome icons into photoshop

Not sure why, but some of the icons on the fontawesome cheatsheet can't be pasted into photoshop for use in mock-ups. I've installed the otf font.
cheatsheet is here
http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/cheatsheet/
I can't paste this icon fa-plus-square-o #xf196;
I have a screenshot of what it looks like in photoshop but I can't post it because I don't have enough reputation on this site...
It won't let me change the font from Myriad to fontawesome, very strange because it works for other icons and I've been using it for a while and never had this problem...
I don't know why it's not working for you... I tried to copy and it works perfectly. Maybe you have an old version of the font. Try to reinstall it, and then copy the icon.
I'm a German user and had the same problem from one day to the other. In the past everything worked fine.
After a long searching in the web I went to settings => text. Here I unchecked "Show names in English language". Now it works. Maybe an installation of a Photoshop Elements action could have caused the problem. I dont'n know.
Before I found this solution I installed the most recent icon font file and started windows again. This did not help.
My suggestion: Play with the settings.
Bit late... but just in case it helps anyone else who runs into the same issues.
I ran into the issue earlier and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working as expected. Similar to one of the other answers, I think it was due to me having an older version that didn't include the icons I was trying to use. I downloaded the latest file, updated it, rebooted Photoshop and that's done the trick for me.

Exported PDFs from Mathematica 8 won't print

UPDATE: I wrote to Wolfram support about this and will update the post if they can resolve the problem. Sorry for spamming SO with a technical support question, but here it remains in case anyone else is having the same issue.
Is anyone else having this problem with Mathematica 8? I recently upgraded and noticed that when I export Graphics to a PDF file, although the file appears fine on my computer, it prints as a blank page. For example, try
Rectangle[{1,1}]//
Graphics//
Export["~/test.pdf",#]&
which creates a PDF file containing a black square. This file opens fine, but if I send it to my department printer I just get a blank page. If I don't export the graphics but print the notebook from MM, no problem, the graphics print as expected. If I use MM 7 to do exactly the same thing, the PDF file prints as expected. Exporting to PNG in MM8 seems to work fine. And, using the context menu Save Graphics As ... or File > Save Selection As ... to create a PDF containing just the graphic also works. However, these graphics eventually get included in a TeX document, and it would be far better if I could continue using the script I've got that doesn't require any button clicking to generate them.
I'm running MM 8.0.0.0 on Mac OS 10.6.7. I have not been able to test this on another printer yet, but this printer has never given me problems before and prints other PDF documents fine. Any ideas why this is happening?
Wolfram Research responds:
...
This issue has been reported by other users as
well and our developers are currently looking into it. I have added your
details to the report so you can be notified when this is resolved.
In the meantime, the alternatives that you could try are:
Try a different printer.
Rasterize the image with the function 'Rasterize' before exporting. If
the rasterized image loses some resolution, you could use the option
'ImageResolution' to edit this.
Rasterize[image, ImageResolution -> xxx]
Surely this is a bug (please report it to support#wolfram.com), but you can work around the problem by selecting the graphic and choosing File > Save Selection As... from the menu (or Save Graphic As... from the contextual menu). This produces a slightly different file that doesn't appear to exhibit the undesirable behavior we observe from Export[].
These problematic files, and LaTeX PDFs that include them, can be properly printed by Adobe Reader 10.1.2. That's if you're okay with installing and using a 450MB PDF reader.
I reproduced the problem (leading me to this question) with Mathematica 8.0.4.0 on Mac OS X 10.7.2. Wolfram suggested lame workarounds like Rasterize and told me
This issue has been addressed by our developers, and a fix will be included in a future version of Mathematica.
