how to edit joins
by Martin Sluka 20 Feb '12

20 Feb '12

There is a problem to join two scraps if not from one sketch very ofen. The walls are overlying (they are too long) and automatic join product no very "esthetic" results. You may: 1. open two or more xtherions and in each one map editor open one .th2 file. So you may easy edit the both (or more) scraps, save them, and compile with "debug on" again. 2. Open the .th2 files in Inkscape and do the same. Edit scraps according results of compiling with "debug on", save and recompile. You may use command line. It works on MacOSX too! Martin Sluka

slopes in small caves
by Maximillian Dornseif 20 Feb '12

We have lots of small slopes like http://filez.foxel.org/3F2Z0L2K1B1a0G2T2539 - rendering them in Therion results in something like http://filez.foxel.org/440r3f2R1M0F2g3W0G2Z which is unsatisfactory - I would prefer mor orthogonal lines to the slope base line. To my understanding this can be accomplished by redefining METAPOST code. In http://therion.speleo.sk/wiki/doku.php?id=mmj:4 Images http://therion.speleo.sk/wiki/lib/exe/detail.php?id=mmj%3A4&media=czsk:mmj:… and http://therion.speleo.sk/wiki/lib/exe/detail.php?id=mmj%3A4&media=czsk:mmj:… this seems to have been done. But the provided METAPOST code seems only to redefine a_blocks. I checked l_slope_SKBB in mpost/thLine.mp but this seems to be a non-trivial 140 line function. Is there an easier way to move slope bars tighter together? Anny Help would be appreciated! Maximillian

I am a new user to Therion and cannot understand the presentation of centerline data in the map file. Stations that I fix with true data are plotted correctly but other data is skewed, especially pure up or down stations. Can you advise where I am going wrong Chris

Loch error on ubuntu
by Vasily Vl. Suhachev 16 Feb '12

Hello Ubuntu 11.10, Therion 5.3.8, netbook with Intel 945GME video controller The program 'loch' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)'. (Details: serial 931 error_code 9 request_code 136 minor_code 8) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) -- WBR, Vasily

KML-File
by Markus Boldt 15 Feb '12

Hi, once, I think Footleg has had a solution to change "old" KML-Files to the new Version needed for Google Earth. Excuse me, I have cancelled his answer. Can you send it please once more to the list. Regards Markus

KML from Therion no longer working in Google Earth?
by Footleg 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

I don't know why, but kml files for my surveys produced by Therion appear to have stopped working in Google Earth. Any therion kml file I try (including ones which worked in the past) now just show a point in central Africa with the whole continent visible at the zoom level. If I zoom to where the cave survey should appear then I see nothing there. I have attached a very truncated sample kml file (I deleted most of the points from the polygon to keep it simple. Footleg

Hi there, I've downloaded the Source Code and understand I have to compile Therion with some other program. Does anyone know how to go about that? cheers, Marcel (Speleo Nederland)
