"\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

Hi all, as I may say, Martin B. and Stacho are still alive, bus very busy. I spoke with Martin B. few minutes ago. Therion is not only on Stacho's computer, but on Martin B.'s too. So don't worry. They are testing Github repo too. Martin B. told me, that after they'll finish a project for their work they will prepare new release. So don't lose hope, please. :) m.s.

cave database
by Martin Sluka 27 Feb '16

https://github.com/masneyb/cavedbmanager This project was written to simplify the data management for a state and/or county cave survey. It eliminates the need for the manual duplication data, which will help to save time and minimize errors. This significantly reduces the hassle of formatting the book and allows the user to concentrate on the collection of data. The system will dynamically generate various types of files based on the data that you upload to the database: • GIS files: SHP, KML (Google Earth), GPX, Maptech, and PNG (topo maps and aerial imagery). • A PDF that is suitable for publication. • An IS09660 CD/DVD image that can be included with the book that includes select entrance photos, maps, and references. All of the filenames are standardized to a common naming convetion. • To-do list • CSV file (Spreadsheet) This project is currently used by the West Virginia Speleological Survey to manage the cave data within the state. The web interface is only available to its members.

list of coordinates of stations
by Martin Sluka 21 Feb '16

Therion -> export model .3d file Use 3dtopos program from Survex package or open it in Aven (Survex) and export list of coordinates: 3dtopos Name 3dtopos—produce a .pos file from a .3d file Synopsis 3dtopos [options] {.3d file} [.pos file] Description 3dtopos takes a .3d file and produces a .pos file which contains a list of all the stations with coordinates (ordered x,y,z [East, North, Up]) and complete names. The stations are sorted such that numbers occur in the correct order (so “2” before “10”). 3dtopos even sorts numbers with a prefix and/or suffix, so you’d get: 040.sv8 040.sv8a 040.sv8b 040.sv8c 040.sv9 040.sv10 040.sv11 40_entrance_tag 40b_entrance_tag You can also export .pos files from aven in versions 1.2.19 and later.

After compiling I get the error “warning -- can't open cavern log file for input”. Therion works well, but there is this error. What is wrong? And after doing the “Vladimir-Chances” into the INI and TCL file the Colors are working. But drawing an area is not further working? I can not define the points for the area. What is here wrong? Thanks for getting help. Markus

XTherion modifications
by Владимир Георгиев 19 Feb '16

Hi all There are some modifications that I made to the XTherion and would be interested if someone can test them and share their opinion. They were quickly patched up and I am no TCL developer so there might be a bug or two. Initially I needed to have an XTherion shortcut to delete a line point so I started looking through the source. I added Ctrl+Shift+D for deleting a line point, Ctrl+Up/Down for zooming in and out in the map editor. The all blue items in the map editor were harder to use so I tried to colorize them. E.g. walls to be "brick red", pits are magenta, rock borders dark gray, slope is yellow, etc. The non-selected scrap is light gray. The station point I made orange and a triangle instead of a circle so it is more visible. I will probably add other colors after I work with the editor more. I have attached a couple of screenshots of how it looks, the xtherion source and the "compiled" xtherion tcl app. Btw, where does the source live, besides the zip archive on the site? Is there a source control repo somewhere that people can contribute to? For experimenting with the colors I used a private git repo. I admit I haven't checked the licensing for the code. Here are the colors that I changed and added them to the INI file. #set xth(gui,me,activefill) red #set xth(gui,me,pasivefill) green #set xth(gui,me,controlfill) blue #set xth(gui,me,highlightfill) cyan #set xth(gui,me,unselectedfill) lightgray #set xth(gui,me,wallcolor) brown #set xth(gui,me,pitcolor) magenta #set xth(gui,me,slopecolor) gold #set xth(gui,me,rockcolor) snow4 #set xth(gui,me,bordercolor) turquoise #set xth(gui,me,stationcolor) darkorange Best Vladimir

Vladimir I don't have answers for you, but I do like what you are doing. A therion repo would seem a very good idea.Bruce
