Yellow symbol in debug

Hello, here's a picture I got by cropping a plan map made by Therion with the option "debug all" in the layout. I noticed a strange yellow symbol and also Therion "distorted" my drawings. I can't figure out why. Could someone please clarify me? The station order is 4-7-8-9-10 and 4-5-6 (station 4 is a common point between two paths). My original drawings are in red, the final results are in blue. I wouldn't expect any distortion because I drew directly on real survey data (I used DistoX and Topodroid). Also, I can't figure out what the two small red lines connected by the yellow one are. I didn't draw them.. Any hint? Thanks, Marco [image: Inline image 1]

Re: [Therion] Really bad idea?

I also am mildly frustrated that colours in plan do not match elevation. Your solution sounds like night mare to edit subsequently however. Maybe better approach would be to work on a graded map-fg colour that changes appropriately based on altitude of nearby stations and maybe point altitude or dimensions for plan.And a simple gradation for elevations. To date i have been using similar approach to Footleg. Bruce Sent from my Samsung device, hence the typo's

New complimentary software: PEAR PHP Class library File_Therion

Hi there, i just wanted to inform you that since some time i am working on a PHP class framework to parse/generate therion files with PHP. I initially need this to export data in therion format from the austrian SPELIX system, where austrian cave data is centrally collected. Since i thought that a PHP class framework for therion file structures would probably be of broader use, i made it public as a PEAR project. Some days ago i released the second public release (0.2.0) with basic centreline and survey support and (i think) all important structures present (however not all of them do something right now, thus the alpha state). The rabbit example is parsable and writable again with core features (like centreline). I think it would be useful to list the packages home at the therion wiki page: http://therion.speleo.sk/wiki/doku.php/contrib:complimentarycaveapps File_Therion package home: http://pear.php.net/package/File_Therion/ (contains link to sources and in the future documentation; APIdoc there is currently broken but will be fixed soon) With best regards, Beni Hallinger Höhlenverein Hallstatt-Obertraun / Austria
