"\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

Therion 5.3.16 using raft symbol both for rafts and raft cones
by Rodrigo Severo 26 Dec '16

26 Dec '16

Hi, I'm producing PDFs of a map with raft cones but Therion is preparing a PDF with raft (calcite raft) symbols instead. I tried changing the points to raft but the rendering doesn't change. I'm using Ubuntu Therion 5.3.16. How can I further debug this issue? Regards, Rodrigo Severo

Updated Elevation grid labels
by Владимир Георгиев 24 Nov '16

24 Nov '16

Hi Here are a couple of recent Therion updates I needed and added: - I added 4 more symbol scales to the existing 5 ones: 2XS < XS < S < M < L < XL < 2XL < 3XL < 4XL. Each is approximately 50% larger than the previous. The 2 larger ones are a bit excessive, but might come in handy occasionally. - Updated elevation grid to show both depth and altitude of cave, instead of altitude only. Depth is in the left column, altitude in the right. They are also aligned to match the 0 point, which is slightly different than the old one. You can see what I mean in the attached images. In a 2D map the depth is more important for me than the altitude. If someone uses that type of grid, can you share your opinion? I could add an additional layout option to control whether the grid is labeled in the new way, but it doesn't seem to be worth it. The compiled apps and code are here https://github.com/vldgeorgiev/therion/wiki Vladimir

Additional morphing points (type "extra") explained
by Benedikt Hallinger 18 Nov '16

18 Nov '16

Hello, i struggle to understand how the extra morphing points are meant to be used. How do they work technically? How do i correctly set them? Are they linked to the nearest station and could i use more than two extra points? Are they linked to LRUD data? I already investigated the "morohing" example from the documentation (both in code and in thbook), so i think it would be good to stick to this example. Thank you very much!
