Depth labels
by Ricardo Constantino 14 Jun '08

14 Jun '08

Hello All, I'm using Therion for UW caves, where I enter survey data is this format : "data diving station depth left right up down ignore newline length bearing ignoreall" I'm trying to output a map, with the depth labels for some of the stations. Where and how can I do this. [my apologies if this is too simple a question - just direct me to the relevant page in the manual :)] Thanks in advance, Ricardo www.ENTRADA.tv

Hello, Hello, I've installed the win32 version of therion on a USB thumb drive, so that I can use it on my computer at work. This has worked fine until recently. Here is the error I get when I try to compile a map through xtherion. Error: can't read "xth(th_exit_number)"" no such element in array. Here is the contents of the log file: can't read "xth(th_exit_number)": no such element in array can't read "xth(th_exit_number)": no such element in array while executing "if {$xth(th_exit_number) == $xth(th_exit_number_last)} { set err 1 } else { set xth(th_exit_number_last) $xth(th_exit_number) }" (procedure "xth_cp_compile" line 78) invoked from within "xth_cp_compile" (procedure "xth_app_make" line 20) invoked from within "xth_app_make" (command bound to event) When I try to compile using therion directly from the command line, I get the following error: therion 0.5.2 cavern.exe - Survex 1.0.39 configuration file: thconfig reading ... done reading source files ... done preprocessing database ... done scanning centreline tree ... done searching for centerline loops ... done calculating station coordinates ... done average loop error: 2.41% processing survey data ... done calculating basic statistics ... done processing extended elevation ... done processing references ... done selecting export objects ... done processing projection plan ... done average distortion: 2.16% writing clay_plan.pdf ...

grid on elevation map
by Gilbert Fernandes (mailinglist) 07 Jun '08

07 Jun '08

hello, I try to put a grid on my survey, I set the grids instructions in the thconfig file grid-size 50 50 50 m grid top it's work find for the map, but on the elevation map, Therion generate grid lines outside the survey. Explanation : my cave elavation go from level 0 to -208. I have the grid lines for level 0, -50, -100, -150, -200 and it's fine. But I have also the grid lines for level +50 and -250. So my PDF doc is very high. How can I suppress these 2 grid lines. On the map I do not have the problem, grid cross are "inside" the map rectangle, not outside. Thanks, Gilbert

Altitude
by Ben Cooper 06 Jun '08

06 Jun '08

I'm trying to put "altitude" points into my map. I've used point altitude successfully, but the number over-writes the cave. I've found I can move the point outside the cave outline, and it still reports the correct altitude, but it the "dot" appears now outside the cave, of course, as attached. Is there a way of specifying the position of the altitude "point" within the cave passage, but moving the text outside? I could do this manually of course with a point label, but then the altitude data would not be computed from the centreline, so not ideal. Can anyone advise me on this one? - Ben

2nd Balkan Speleo Reunion Camp
by Stelios Zacharias 06 Jun '08

06 Jun '08

Dear all, The Hellenic Federation of Speleology is organising the second Balkan Speleo Reunion Camp in the Northern Greek region of Drama next week, on behalf of the Balkan Speleological Union (BSU). We are expecting participants from all the Balkan countries which are members of the BSU. Is there any interest in asking the organisers for a venue to discuss Therion (or survey in general) with other users? The organising committee may be reached on meetings(a)fhs.gr and I am sure that they would be able to accommodate such a request in the programme. If there is no interest for something organised, may I ask whether there will be any Therion users attending who might be interested in sharing experiences with me during the camp? The camp will run from 13 to 23 June and details may be found here: http://www.fhs.gr/2ndbsrc/ Cheers, Stelios Zacharias SELAS Caving Club Pasionos 44-46 Athens - 116 31 Greece www.selas.org

Team member who didn't do any survey
by Jonny 06 Jun '08

06 Jun '08

Hello, I'm curious as to how I can get my buddy's name on a map even though he didn't go on a survey trip where actual surveying was going on. We went in and sketched already surveyed passage. Is there a simple way to do this? Thanks. -Jonny ^v^

"ignoreall" is getting ignored
by Wolfgang Zillig 30 May '08

30 May '08

Hi, I had today the problem that I had incomplete LRUD data in my files and I thought I could ignore that by adding "ignoreall" in the definition of the survey data. But therion complained about incomplete data. Is that behaviour as it should be? Regards Wolfgang

Hopefully a bunch of new users
by Bruce Mutton 29 Apr '08

29 Apr '08

I demonstrated Therion to our local caving club a couple of days ago, and there are a few keen hopefuls and I suspect a lot of stunned cavers (hope I wasn't too boring) Hopefully we get some new users out of it. Bruce Mutton

Therion Being Discussed on Cavechat.org
by Jonathan Prouty 27 Apr '08

27 Apr '08

Therion came up in a thread on cavechat. Some good points were brought up that are beyond my ability to respond to. I figured someone more knowledgeable than me might like to respond. A lot of people read cavechat and it would be a shame to scare people away from therion for no good reason. http://forums.caves.org/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=6757&p=55739 -- -Jonny ^v^

new beta release 0.5.2
by Gilbert Fernandes (mailinglist) 24 Apr '08

24 Apr '08

hello, I noticed you prepared a new beta release of therion. I download and tried the windows delivery. I noticed that the bug on the 3 D view (tool loch) for the pit view is still present. I sent you and email a few month ago with an exemple (the data put in the survey giving the dept or hight value in a vertical survey (a pit) is used in the 3D modele as the width of the pit. So the pit seems always to be very large at the top and at his bottom). An other problem I noticed in the release 0.5.1 (but not test in the beta) his : for the loch tool, on a Linux computer (Ubuntu), with a 3D view (the same data used on windows), I can't have a color of the galery by deep. Colors are random. But the colors are good in the Windows release. Do you know this problem ? Will you solve these problems on the final 0.5.2 delivery or later ? Thanks, Gilbert
