Help on running The Rasterbator
In the first 24 hours 3400 people downloaded The Rasterbator and a German support site emerged, which is way greater response than I expected. Please upload pictures (photographs) of the rasterbated images (generated by either the web version or the standalone) preferably in their surroundings to the Rasterbation Gallery.
Troubleshooting
Being a computer program, it's bound to beget trouble. Here are few common problems and hopefully their solutions.
When running the program, an error window with code 0xc0000135 or with message "The dynamic link library mscoree.dll could not be found in the specified path..." pops up
The computer does not have .NET Framework 1.1 installed. Run the installer program and try again. Please note that you need to have sufficient rights (depending on your network settings) to install the framework.
I cannot find the output file
If you did not change anything in phase 5, it is in the same directory where the source file. The filename is the same as of the source file, except that the extension is .pdf (the computer may not show the extensions, depending on your configuration).
I still cannot find the output file
If you did not extract the .dll files from the archive and run the program, the rasterbation won't succeed. (There's no error message, which is of course confusing and this will be fixed.)
Things to wait for
I hope to release quite soon version 1.1, which would support external language files. This enables people to translate the program into different languages rather easily.

Hi -- I've used the online version before -- it's great, thanks so much for hosting it... free black and white printing at work Bahahahaaa... But when I tried to download the stand alone just now winzip said it's not a valid archive, nothing in it... Is it just me?
Thanks

I have download rasterbator and dice that opened it the ".exe" that put me the error 0xc0000135. I thus telechargé "NET Framework 1.1" but maintaining a new error appears. It then marked "CLR error : 80004005. ; the program will now terminate" What do I have to make? PS: I am French and this message was translated on the net so excuse me for the errors.

From Chris (

I have the latest .NET Framework installed, and I extracted everything from the archive, including the DLLs. However, rasterbation fails; it seems to only take a second. What is left is a corrupt PDF (actually zero bytes long), and the Rasterbator.exe process hangs.

The net framework is required to run any programs compiled with it. It is a one off download and all programs that need it will use it. The errors you are receiving are due to the fact you do not have the framework

The coders of the stand alone rasterbator are obviously not Mac or Linux or Unix coders. When someone with Mac, or Unix/Linux/Mac knowledge ports it, it will then be avalible.
Or, the rasterbator people can release the full unix sourcode plus flash code and then mac and linux people can use that (Well, the geeksavy ones)

Although the Raster pre-view looks good the actual print out isn't in colour and stops after 3 pages of a 9 page project.

I just found a bug: If you start the exe from a mapped disk (network) you will get an security instance error. Copied to the local dir it would work...
From cm at 27.12.2005 11:59 (2 years ago)
Running from network in fact should cause a security error, so it is not a bug: it's the default policy of .NET framework. You can adjust where to allow software to be run from Start - Settings - Administrative Tools - .NET Framework Wizards - Adjust .NET Security.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this
application or machine (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging

For example:

Anyone getting an error about the languages needs to make a new folder called 'languages' in the same directory as the other files, and put all the language xml files into it.. so if you've extracted the program files to C:\Program Files\rasterbator, the languages file needs to be at C:\Program Files\rasterbator\languages :)

Hey . I just got a question . I rasterbated a really high res image using the normal procedure.....made 3x3 a4 pages worth of it . Now what im saying is , in the .pdf file , the image looks very 'dotty' . I've set it to multi colour and it doesnt look like it'll hold that well when i print it . What im asking is that will it look dotty even when i print it , or does it look like that only on the PC ?? Coz i have tried reducing the radius-per-dot to 1 mm , and it was rendering so slow , that i just switched adobe reader off . Any soln. to this ?? thanks .

When I try to rasterbate (love that verb) a gray scale image, saved as a TIFF, I get single dots on the white background, even though there is no color or grayscale information there. It gets worse when I select a smaller dot size. A 1mm dot size makes a white background turn black. I have a persons image against white, I want to print it out and cut out the image. I'll keep trying other methods as not sure how often this board is monitored.
Great app otherwise and tho' I use a PC at work, would love a Mac OSX version for home.

Hey Mac people, here's a thought. Isn't there some program you can get that lets you run PC programs on your mac? Here is a person who has made a FREE online utility, has made a standalone that you can download FREE, and when people have tried to pay him for it, has asked them to donate to amnesty international instead, and you are moaning that this person hasn't burned the time to port the program over to your niche OS?
Why don't you get together, do some donating, mail $1000 worth of canceled checks that y'all sent to Amnesty International, and THEN make sad emo's until you get a Mac version?

The app seems to be okay, but the algorythm for the dots isnt very good. i tried an B/W image with lots very subtle nuances. it looked like there are extreme threshold values for light and dark parts. well, overall the result was very disapointing. But its great for simple graphics. If you ever gonna update it to version 3, then also add other raster-shapes! Like diamonds or maybe even costum shapes (think of an super-mario made out of little supermarios =) )
cheers!
From big fan (

at 14.04.2008 20:06 (1 month ago)
I really love your program! Thanks so much for sharing it with the internet community! I agree with the previous poster--the ability to rasterize using custom shapes would be great.
I also am a big fan of an eventual realease for MAC OSX :)
I got it running using some patches (X11, MONO, etc) but that solution is not optimal, and not glitch-free. Like many mac-users I'm not exactly a tech-guru, and would love to see a small app that would run natively under the mac osx (seriously, the interface is so smooth I would have sworn you made it for Mac in the first place! :P).
Thanks again for the great service and keep up the good work!

Miten sais noi pallukat menemään vähän vinoon silleen ku oikeesti lehdissä? Kannattaisi koodata semmoinenkin toiminto! Tommoset ihan vaakasuorat rivit on vähän tylsiä.

Yet another vote for a Mac OS X (Tiger+) version of your wonderful product. Switched to Mac a yr ago & *really* miss your app. Danke, merci, thank you...oh & pls!

I beg your patience, but I just do not understand what this program is meant to do.
It is probably right in front of me, but I am not aware of it. Others speak so highly of the Rasterbator, that I would like to understand it, correctly.
Thank you for your patience and assistance. FatherWolf

When I try to open Rasterbator I get this message. Any help?
"The language data directory (C:\Documents and Settings...Rasterbator\languages) seems to be missing. Please extract the language directory from the archive file."
I already extracted everything in the .zip file. There was no languages file that I know of. Where can I download that?
