osx mavericks - loch 3D overlay graphics
by Dr. Heinrich Kestler 22 Sep '15

22 Sep '15

I managed to install thereon successfully on osx mavericks using home-brew. Nearly everything seems to work fine so far. However, trying to apply an overlay graphic to a surface model in loch, it doesn´t work, i.e. the surface remains grey. I wonder whether this is a known issue with loch or if I missed to install something. Any suggestions? Many thanks in advance! Heinrich

Turning some labels on and off
by Andrew Atkinson 19 Sep '15

19 Sep '15

Hi all Over the years there have been many discussions about how to turn some but not all labels off, for things like different scales. Lots of metapost that sort of solves some problems, so I was about to right some code for my situation http://wotcc.org.uk/__Transfer/Reads.pdf (work in progress) For this I need to have some labels only on the combined view, some on the exploded view and some on both. I was going to aim at using -attr print comb or -attr print explo and then use metacode to decide where they should be visible. Ideally I would just be able to set an attr and then use symbol-hide attr print:comb but no luck there, unless I messed something, In the end metacode was not needed, I just chose 2 symbols I do not use and added them as a -context point raft and context point clay then symbol-hide point clay or symbol-hide point raft Bit of a bodge, it would be better if attr could be used, but I think that this could be used for lots of the problems I found on the mailing list while looking for a more elegant solution Andrew

Arranging legends
by Andrew Atkinson 15 Sep '15

15 Sep '15

Guess you all can tell I am trying to get a survey complete by the number of emails I am sending For anyone who is interested in what I am doing, the pdf if available at http://wotcc.org.uk/__Transfer/Reads.pdf and the raw data at http://www.cave-registry.org.uk/svn/Burrington/Reads/ I am using the legend command to put text in different places and other pdfs to make up a complex final poster. Some thoughts/observations When using the normal map header 0 0 nw legend on/off works and turns the list of symbols on and off colour-legend thbook says colo[u]r-legend <on/off> ◃ turn on/off legend of map-fg colours when map-fg is set to altitude, scrap or map (M, A) but the map colours seem to remain in the legend? As soon as you use code tex-map \def\maplayout{ \legendbox{ } map-header and map-image get ignored, which is a bit of a pain, as everything has to then go through the \legendbox. My guess is there is a reason for this, but it would be better if the 2 map commands could still be used. I cannot find a way to insert the list of symbols \legendbox{110}{-200}{NW}{\the\legendcontent} Put the legend on with the scale bar, north arrow ..... map colours, but no list of symbols using legend on/all/off seems to make no difference. This is the one I could really do with a solution to, as I would like to have the list of symbols As \formattedlegend adds in the map colours, my feeling is that \insertlegend should put it in but have not got anywhere with \legendbox{150}{-230}{NW}{\iflegend\the\insertlegend\fi} \legendbox{150}{-230}{NW}{\iflegend\insertlegend\fi} \legendbox{150}{-230}{NW}{\insertlegend\} \legendbox{150}{-230}{NW}{\the\insertlegend} thanks in advance Andrew

Therion on OSX 10.11 pre-release
by Christian Sandrini 15 Sep '15

15 Sep '15

Hi For the one that can not wait and want to install therion on the new 10.11 (El Capitan) pre-release. There is a few things that may fail 1. Permission problems with brew. Somehow permissions got changed on my install. The fix was sudo chown -R `whoami` /usr/local cd /usr/local git reset --hard origin/master brew update 2. You need Xcode 7 Beta. Download and install it. Then sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/ sudo xcodebuild -license 3. Now you should be ready to install therion brew install therion Good luck Chris

Degree symbol at size 40
by Andrew Atkinson 14 Sep '15

14 Sep '15

Hi all I have wasted far too much time on this... hope someone can help On http://therion.speleo.sk/wiki/doku.php/tex with the title Add thedegree symbol (°) to the map-comment (Stacho Mudrak) \comment={\vbox{\halign{#\hfil\cr\thfa Coordinates: $30\,^{\circ}$ \cr Line 2 of map comment.\cr}}{}} Which works fine But I am trying to make the tex lots larger for a A00 survey so tried \def\maplayout{ \legendbox{0}{100}{SW}{ \comment{Projected elevation looking towards $15\,^{\circ}$ (up page on plan)} \size[40]\the\comment } Which works but the $s seem to make the text small and a different font, I think. Tried to remove the $s but to no avail. How do I make the degree symbol the correct size for my font? Andrew

Possible Bug - join
by Andrew Atkinson 13 Sep '15

13 Sep '15

I am working on a bit of a maze cave, and was merrily doing the joining, when I found one that I could not get to work, even when using line points, so bodged it and moved on. the next one did not work either. This started to make me a little suspicious. In the end, I moved the join commands higher up the file (this was not the first thing I tried by a long way) and both joins then worked. I can find no logic to this, when I move the joins up, others that become get pushed down, still seem to work. The joins are in Reads.th, the thconfig in the reads folder selects only the relevant maps to make it easier to see. Whole dataset is at http://www.cave-registry.org.uk/svn/Burrington/ it is in version 412, the 2 that do not work have comments after them, lines 143 and 144 Running on Debian Therion 5.3.15, I happen to have a windows box for use today, and the same thing happens on that. Adding more joins after and they seem to work. My worry is that moving the ones that do work to a place that they do, might break some other joins, that I cannot find. Andrew

line tracing
by Andrew Atkinson 12 Sep '15

12 Sep '15

In the map editor, under edit line there is the option Trace Line. What does it do, I cannot seem to get it to do anything, cannot find any help on the wiki or book. Just thought it might be useful as I sometimes have to copy a line to make a boundary in a scrap be the same as a line in the scrap above? thanks Andrew

Re: [Therion] Data Management
by Steven Tucker 09 Sep '15

09 Sep '15

Hi everyone, I really like the idea of a Therion Tutorial. Another caver and I started using Therion about a year ago and we were probably the first in South Africa to use Therion. We also didn't know about this mailing list, so with no one to ask advice from some of the easiest things to do became major headaches. We would be stuck on something for days and once we found out, it was often a single line entry that needed to be included and was a very simple fix. A tuturial to assist people with most of the basics will be briliant to help people who are new to Therion. It will also avoid people asking "basic" questions over and over again on this forum. Something I found very useful when learning to use Therion were examples and other people's data. Just being able to look through other data gave solutions to the problems I had and often better or easier methods than what I was using at the time. So, yes please do a tuturial if someone can! Steven
