Hi Bruce!<br><br>Thanks for the hints. I made some changes to the metapost code, according to your suggestions:<br>-Last triangle is now filled too<br>-Symbol size is now set to a fixed value (only distance between symbols is varied)<br>
-Thinner line is now of 'same length' as thick line (for straight lines).<br><br>I hope this does not harm other usecases for this line, so any feedback is welcome!<br><br>To include the new changes, copy the definition of the symbol l_wall_pit_AUT from the attached file in your layout.<br>
<br>In the attached file, there is also a fix for the sand and clay patterns, which dit not fit nicely next to each other in the previous version (thanks to Dirk Peinelt for pointing that out).<br><br>@Martin/Stacho: Could you include this update to the next therion release?<br>
<br><br>Kind regards,<br>
Georg.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial" lang="EN-NZ">The above image suggests that the symbol size
tweaking to match the line length might need its limits adjusting slightly.
The contrast between biggest and smallest symbols seems a bit much to me –perhaps
compensating a smaller maximum size with a longer ‘blank’ length at
each end?<u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
