Using smaller fonts
by Jackson 10 Apr '13

10 Apr '13

Hi, is it possible to use a smaller font size for the station-name? I know to use -scale xs for the station-name. It is not small enough and I want to change this global. So i tried using the "def fonts_setup" but nothing happens write "\def\thstationname{\size[4]}" to "mptexpre.tex"; Under debug mode -d i can find this saved in mptexpre.tex But no change in the output pdf Glück tief Christian -- +----------------------------------------------+ | FUND Freunde Unterwelt Dachstein e.V. | | http://www.fund-ev.de | +----------------------------------------------+

The cave i am surveying has a large main chamber, about 70m wide and 100m long. The disto cant reach the edges of the chamber from the centre of the chamber, so as a result i surveyed several loops inside this one chamber. although i enclosed all these loops in single cave wall, it appears as if therion still sees this as multiple passsages and calculates the length of the cave accordingly so how do i approach this large chamber problem from a therion perspective? thank you in advance.

Re: [Therion] Line widths in pdf
by Graham Mullan 01 Apr '13

Bruce Thank you that was the right piece of code. You have to play with the figures to get the relevant thickness for any given image. I ended up with def PenA = pencircle scaled (u/4) enddef and with all the other lines altered to (u/4) as well. There seems to be a lower limit, so if you try to make the lines too small nothing changes, but making them thicker certainly works. Graham

Line widths in pdf
by Graham Mullan 01 Apr '13

01 Apr '13

Is it possible to control the line thicknesses in pdf files? When I export my pdf as an image file into publishing software, the lines are much too thin. I have played with scaling but it seems not to make much difference Graham -- graham.mullan(a)coly.org.uk 0117 9502556 or 07887 637064 (or 0844 2327803)

Scaling of maps
by Wolfgang Zillig 23 Mar '13

23 Mar '13

Hi, I'm just redrawing a not too small cave in therion. The x- and y- extent is quite big, while having lots of small passages. In these passages a scale of 1:250 is still nice, however exporting in that scale exporting does not work due to the error: "error -- Map is too large for PDF format. Try smaller scale!" Is there a way to "scale down" export while keeping details? Especially gradient arrows and other symbols not looking good at 1:1000. I know that some details getting too small for printing, but it would love to have it on screen as one map... Best regards Wolfgang

PDF generation
by Graham Mullan 22 Mar '13

22 Mar '13

I am having one of our surveys printed professionally as an A1 poster and a couple of issues have arisen that it is worth users being aware of. One is that the printer's software had a problem faithfully reproduced some fill areas, mostly stal flow. They solved it but it is worth keeping an eye out for this as some small areas might easily be missed. The second is the lack of control over colour - not the usual problem of being able to control which colours it uses if asked to colour the whole survey - which I believe is being looked at - but the seeming fact that the output will be coloured RGB when printers require CMYK. I know that Acrobat Distiller can deal with this and generate appropriate files, but I cannot see a way of doing this in Therion. Graham

Fatal Error in Wish - Tk_GetPixmap
by Wolfgang Zillig 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

Hi, I'm getting sometimes an error in Wish: "Fail to create pixmap with Tk_GetPixmap in ImgPhotoInstanceSetSize". It seems that the background image in the map editor is too big. However sometimes it occurs only by changing the zoom level, ie from 200% to 100%. What is the maximum image size therion can use as background image in map editor? Best regards Wolfgang
