Modular Reuse of thconfig Layouts
by Bruce Mutton 02 Dec '07

02 Dec '07

I have three caves entered into a folder tree as a hierarchal system, that can be plotted in a couple of variations for each individually or as a whole system. I find that I have two thconfig files for each combination that produce all of the types of maps I would like at this stage. This makes a total of eight thconfig files, each of which is getting quite large, but which are largely identical except in a few details. It's becoming difficult to manage these, and keep the bits that I'd like to be identical updated. I suspect that, like most of the rest of Therion, I can make use of a standard thconfig file that contains most of my favourite settings, allowing my eight specific thconfigs to be very concise. I have played around a bit, trying to save layouts in different files and using lines like; copy StandardLayout but 'StandardLayout' only seems to be visible from within the same file. Have had no luck with 'input', 'source' or 'select'. Probably I'm just missing out a bit of syntax or namespace visibility. Any suggestions

Image scaling and layer position
by Bruce Mutton 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

Is it possible to scale images inserted into the layout, short of saving the original file to a different resolution before using it with Therion? Is it possible to put the image on the bottom layer, as it is with grids and surfaces? Change its opacity? (For example an indistinct image could be used as a watermark or background to the finished cave map drawing -not that I really want to do this, mainly just to get better control of the image) layout map-image 0 0 sw ./sketches/logo.jpg / #image bottom #image-scale 2x / #image-opacity 5 # in case the image is on top of the cave for instance endlayout Thanks Bruce PS: The continuous code grid works fine. Thanks Stacho

The current Donate one get one offer(valid till end of year) with a year of T-Mobile wifi hotspot service and a tax write-off is a great opportunity to get one now if it has any application possibilities.

Extended elevations with survex data
by John Pybus 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

Hi, I'm trying to create an extended elevation of a cave. I have the centreline data as survex files and have created an extended version of the .3d using the survex "extend" command with a specfile to specify at which points the elevation switches direction. I have created a .th file like so: survey texa-elev import texa_extend.3d input elev_top.th2 endsurvey but therion doesn't respect the changes of direction in texa_extend.3d and extends it all out to the right which doesn't correspond to the drawings in elev_top.th2 and produces very corrupted output. Is there a way to correct this and tell therion where the switches in direction are? Cheers, John

Label printing in pdf
by Christian Rößler (Roessler) 21 Nov '07

21 Nov '07

Hallo everybody, so, after compiling everything I am again at taking first steps in Therion. I am following advice at the Therion wiki <http://therion.speleo.sk/wiki/doku.php?id=tfc:31433>, and at first I am trying to insert a label. That's successful so far, but I cannot get these labels to be printed in the resulting pdf. So I suspect, perhaps there is something missing in the layout I gave? I use: (everything in one line, of course - just got folded by emil client) | source eisenbach_hotel.th | layout eisenbach_export | north true | scale 1 100 | units metric | grid bottom | page-grid on | grid-size 100 100 100 metres | legend on | language de | statistics explo all | statistics topo all | statistics carto all | statistics copyright all | statistics topo-length on | statistics explo-length on | scale-bar 10 m | debug on | endlayout | export map -projection plan -o eisenbach_hotel.xvi | export map -projection plan -layout eisenbach_export -layout-color map-fg | 90 -output Eisenbach.pdf -fmt pdf (one line, of course) In the file .th2 the label point was successfully inserted: | point 1205.0 717.0 label -text "Eisenmuffe" But this label will not show in the pdf file, which otherwise seems to be ok (centerline, linepoints of survey and outline of lrud are drawn). I have the feeling I am forgetting something. Anyone has a hint? Best regards, Christian

Compiling question - thbezier.cxx
by Christian Rößler (Roessler) 21 Nov '07

21 Nov '07

Good evening, just a little question; I am again at it, compiling therion. Well, when make'ing I got following error: | c++ -c -Wall -DTHLINUX -O2 -o thbezier.o thbezier.cxx | thbezier.cxx: In function ‘void chord_length_parameterize(const NR_Point*, | double*, unsigned int)’: | thbezier.cxx:1205: error: ‘stderr’ was not declared in this scope | thbezier.cxx:1206: error: ‘fprintf’ was not declared in this scope | make: *** [thbezier.o] Fehler 1 ...and, ah well, stderror and fprintf has a smell I know, so to say. So I opened thbezier.cxx and insterted to the include lines | #include "stdio.h" and it compiles through (at least thbezier.cxx). But this is... a bit too easy. Is this the right way, or do I have an error elsewhere (as usual), perhaps? Greetings, Christian

Scaling text and text orientation
by Bruce Mutton 20 Nov '07

20 Nov '07

As with most drawing packages, it seems that one needs to have the final presentation scale in mind when placing text labels within scraps. Change the output scale up or down, and the labels either move very far away from the drawing, or overlap and over power the drawing. This is a shame because most of the other features are fairly scale independent. I can use the scale and basescale commands, and <left> and <br> etc to counteract this to some extent. Is there a way to place a text label, say ON a pitch line, and tell therion, label this pitch "10 P" and left justify the text it out to the right-hand side, just beyond the displayed passage wall, so that it always displays just clear of the drawing? Also I notice that text with orientation 0 degrees prints at an angle equal to the declination, which is 22 degrees here abouts these days. Is there a better way to straighten the text than give it all an orientation of 338 degrees to compensate? If I want to present two maps, say one at 1:500 scale, and one at 1:2000 scale, I would want many labels on the former and few labels on the latter. Can this be done with one set of scraps, or would I have to create duplicates and adjust the labels in one of the sets? Again, thank you for your patience Bruce
