......@@ -23,6 +23,13 @@ Probably, here are a few things that will speed up report generation:
6. Read the SION files directly into Python and inspect the data there using the [Linktest Python Reader](Linktest-Python-Reader). This does not substitute a nice and easy to read report, but gives you the flexibility of looking at the data more in depth or to produce figures that better fit your needs.
# The colourbar in the report extends outside its bounding box! How can I fix this?
TLDR: Update MatPlotLib and Python.
This bug is due to a MatPlotLib bug, which is first mentioned in issue [#6827](https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/6827). As we are relying on MatPlotLib for plotting we cannot fix this on our side. Once it has been patched out update Python and MatPlotLib.
Alternatively, you can can increase the default rasterization resolution in PPI (Pixels Per Inch), which MatPlotLib for historic reasons calls DPI (Dots Per Inch, a quantity important for printing). To see how you can modify these variables globally checkout the [MatPlotLib Customization Guide](https://matplotlib.org/stable/tutorials/introductory/customizing.html). Often a value of 300 is enough. **WARNING!** This will increase you file size.
# What do the weird unit prefixes, like ki, Mi and Gi, mean?
TLDR: They are binary prefixes.
