Warning messagge with text via gmt events -Et

[Esteban82]

I am getting these warning messagges when I do an animation with text (via gmt events).

text [WARNING]: Record 1 had bad fill transparency (NaN) - set to 0.0
text [WARNING]: Record 1 had bad stroke transparency (NaN) - set to 0.0

The messagges only appears related to the frame 16. I think that is when the text appears in the animation. In the other frames, the messagge don't appear (add -Fpng to see it). I can't see anything wrong in the frame but I'm not sure.

Full messagge:

Another issue

If I add -Ve in gmt events, the warning messagges dissapear but I get events [ERROR]: Unrecognized option -V

How are you passing in stroke and fill transparency for the text? With extra columns and -t[+f][+s] ?

prevents.c has -V. How can that fail to parse? I guess I need to debug. Very very odd.

[PaulWessel]

Oh, you pass # -Ve so perhaps it reads the # as a file and then get -Ve?

I put that for the second issue. If I remove that, I got the same output.

I think I don't. Is that needed? If so, why the messagges didn't appear for the rest of the frames?

[PaulWessel]

The -Ve errors: Clearly events supports -V but I think what happens is that events passes -V down to modules it calls so it becomes too many -V and clearly that check is not working well as it says -V is not "recognised" when it probably means it is already set. Will have to debug during the daytime with plenty of coffee inside.
