"\legendbox" "\loadpicture" and absolute paths
by rowena 14 Mar '21

Hello, I am using the "\loadpicture" capability in "\legendbox" constructs to include map sections, elevations, etc. It all works nicely on my PC where I am using relative paths to the pdf files. My club has a desire to archive the map data for posterity - ie if my pc dies or I go walkabout, the map data should still be available so that others can add to the maps as they are extended. I would prefer to have the images included using relative pathnames, rather than absolute pathnames, so that future explorers can download the map data and extend it, without having to duplicate my file hierarchy. How can I include relative paths in the \loadpicture functionality? Thanks, Rowena

Import a scrap into another scrap (or th2-file)
by torstein finnesand 11 Oct '17

Hi fellows, Sometimes I realize that two scraps should have been one (for instance scrap A in A.th2 should have been a part of scrap B in B.th2), in particular when it's difficult to join them. It's easy to insert the xvi file into the scrap B file. But I have to draw it again. Is there any workaround here? Torstein Finnesand Norway

Best practice - orientation of original sketch?
by Bill Gee 26 Dec '15

Hello everyone - This is not really a Therion question. It is more of a general survey question. Therion is sort of involved in the situation, though ... When you are drawing the sketch in the cave, is it normal to ALWAYS make north the same direction on each sheet of paper? What is considered "best practice" in this regard? Background: I have been helping with survey of a cave that has grown to slightly over 5000 feet as of a week ago. I have been both sketching and doing cartography. Therion is my weapon of choice! :-) At least 6 people have done some part of the sketching in this cave. All of us have oriented our sketches so as to best fit each section of cave onto the paper. We always indicate north, but it can be any edge of the paper. The man who is coordinating the project is also doing cartography using Windows tools (Walls, Xara, etc.) He sent me an email today asking if I will commit to making all future sketches with north being the top of the page. He asks because some of the computer work he does results in portions of the sketch being upside-down and therefore more difficult to read. Thanks - Bill Gee

File transfer from PDA to Mac?
by Archie King 23 Nov '15

Anyone know of a simple way of browsing/transferring (PocketTopo) files from a PDA (I have a Dell Axim X51, running Windows Mobile V5) to a Mac (OS 10.11.1)? Transferring files to a pc, and then to a Mac is an option (but I don't have a pc, and would prefer not to go via a pc emulator on the Mac). Thanks

Hello all, Is anyone else having trouble accessing therion.speleo.sk? I'm working on a Fedora package for Therion and went to look up some information and received a 503 error. Hopefully it isn't anything significant! Best regards, Jonny

3D export from ParaView to MeshLab - data with coordinates
by Martin Sluka 10 Nov '15

There is another solution: Export VTK fgrom Loch in ASCII format. For that feature you should change one line in source lxData.cxx about line 615. w->SetFileTypeToBinary(); to w->SetFileTypeToASCII(); and recompile Loch. Thanks to Stacho m.s.
