Hi all
In sort of a follow up to my previous mail, I am trying to draw a plan
(and elevation, soon) of a cave that is on many overlapping levels that
are at about 40 degrees and obscure each other.
One idea was to be able to draw each of the 4 levels with the other
levels shown as previews, then have all 4 displaced from each other, so
that the viewer could see how it fit together in context for this I tried
map ReadsM
Reads1M
Reads2M [0 25 m] none
Reads3M [0 50 m] none
Reads4M [0 75 m] none
endmap
map Reads1M
Level1M #[0 25 m] none
preview below Level2M
preview above Level3M
preview above Level4M
endmap
map Reads2M
preview below Level1M
Level2M
preview above Level3M
preview above Level4M
endmap
map Reads3M
preview below Level1M
preview below Level2M
Level3M
preview above Level4M
endmap
map Reads4M
preview below Level1M
preview below Level2M
preview below Level3M
Level4M
endmap
But when the Reads2M, Reads3M and Reads4M maps are offset the previews
are not shown
The above is my preferred option, so getting that working would be best,
but another option is just to offset all the maps leaving only the previews
map ReadsM
Level1M [0 25 m] below
Level2M [0 50 m] below
Level3M [0 75 m] below
Level4M [0 100 m] below
endmap
Which sort of works, but the previews fall off the page, and to get
colour by map to work I need to select ReadsM -map-level 1 but then the
previews are not shown, what am I doing wrong, how do I get the colours
and the previews, help! Even better would be to get the previews the
same colour as the maps, but that is probably not a function at the moment
colour preview-below map
would be a good option, that
As a note; it turns out that [0 25 m] is in North/south and East/West
direction not X Y of the page, which I can overcome with a bit of maths,
but as this seems to be more of a page laying tool I would expect the
latter.
thanks
Andrew
