Therion's Loch features (incognito) on NZ TV

Loch model of 39 km cave features in this TV news clip at 3:47 (Me carrying two packs on the opening still, and stuck at 2:00) http://www.3news.co.nz/Deepest-cave-discovered-in-our-backyard/tabid/817/art icleID/330973/Default.aspx Centreline data has been processed for the last few(?) decades with a home-made unix application that uses proprietary routines, so will only live while Jonathan is with his current employer. As you might have guessed, an 'export to Therion' routine is being worked on. Bruce

Compiling Therion projects from Notepad++
by Footleg 08 Jan '15

08 Jan '15

I find having multiple thconfig files open so I can compile different parts of my large cave system project very useful. So I was investgating how to run Therion from Notepad++ (my preferred text editor). This is how I got it working: I wrote a 2 line batch file containing these commands: cd %1 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Therion\therion.exe" %2 Saved to somewhere on disk, and then call it from Notepad++ using the Run command, as follows: On the Run menu in Notepad++, Select the 'Run' item, and enter the command as follows: "C:\Personal\Caving\Therion\compileTherion.bat" "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)" "$(FILE_NAME)" (But using the path to where you saved your batch file). Save the command (I called it 'Compile Therion' and gave it the shortcut CTRL+T). Now with any thconfig file open in a tab in Notepad++, I can compile that project by pressing CTRL+T, or by selecting 'Compile Therion' from the Run menu. You can create multiple thconfig files in the same folder on Windows, by giving them any filename you want with the extension .thc or give them no extension at all. That way all the files will be listed in the 'Open File' dialog from the compile tab in xTherion. Next I'll see if I can get my batch file to open the output PDF automatically in Foxit Reader :) But that will be less general because I need to pick a PDF filename which can vary between my thconfig files.

wxWidgets 3.0.0
by Olly Betts 14 Jun '14

I've been fighting to get loch to work with wxWidgets 3.0.0. The first obstacle is that they now enable __WXDEBUG__ mode by default, so misuses of the API result in warning dialogs popping up. I've attached a patch which fixes that, and updates a couple of places where deprecated methods are used. This doesn't get you a fully working loch though - starting loch and loading a file seems to work OK, *if* loch was compiled with optimisation. Starting loch with a file specified on the command line segfaults in the first call to gluScaleImage() in lxData.cxx, though it works when run under gdb or valgrind, so I guess there is a subtle timing issue (and that this might not happen on all machines). There are also more uses of deprecated methods, most notably using an implicit wxGLContext is now deprecated. I tried to update that one, but things seemed to crash a lot - I suspect the underlying problem noted above needs addressing first. I've been testing on Debian unstable (which has packages of wx 3.0.0). Cheers, Olly

Strange Ghosting
by Nick Bairstow 30 May '14

30 May '14

When I open a .top file on a pc I sometimes get the following result. Lots of ghost shots and splays in yellow. Can anybody explain? Is it a pc thing? All the data from the yellow lines is showing in the data view and can be deleted. The files go into Therion OK with no yellow lines to be seen so this is not really a problem I'd just like to know what's going on. Thanks, Nick Bairstow [cid:image001.jpg@01CF7BFD.1EA42550]

by Andrea Corna 29 May '14

29 May '14

Hi guys, there is in the future the intention to improve loch and the 3d exportation? something like: -Wall calculated using splays (like PocketTopo dxf export). -Colorize the wall/centerline by distance from the entrance, date, dimension and other things. -Misure the distance from point to point Thank you Andrea.

It turns out the problem I was having wasn’t related to 10.9.3 but was something causing a problem when using two extended desktops connected to my laptop with Thunderbolt. It worked fine with them connected to my Mac Mini but I have a problem correctly intalling Therion on the Mac Mini. Dave Clucas daveclucas.com sarawak-caves.com dave.clucas(a)icloud.com
