FW: List of Therion Symbols problem
by Bruce Mutton 06 Mar '08

06 Mar '08

Oops, I think I forgot the attachment when I posted this... Again... I can view the symbols.xhtml file with Firefox 2.(latest update) but I'm not sure it's complete. I made a pdf of it (attached) which has all the information of the xhtml but is formatted slightly less elegantly than when viewed with Firefox. Question one is; Is the pdf file a complete representation, or am I still having viewing problems? If it is complete, what does Therion do with a symbol when the chosen symbol-set allocation for that symbol is blank? In addition I have noticed previously that if I specify a symbol-set, then it overrides my custom metapost codings (for water and sump areas for example) regardless of the relative positions of the statements in my thconfig files. Can I specify a symbol-set AND have custom metapost modifications to symbols?

Station Co-ordinates
by Bruce Mutton 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

Is it possible to obtain co-ordinates for some or all stations processed by Therion? (other than by scaling from the outputs?) (which gives me a thought - maybe from a *.xvi output file?) Bruce

List of Therion Symbols problem
by Bruce Mutton 02 Mar '08

Hi I've been trying to produce a table of all symbols in all symbol-sets, and the xhtml file produced will not open in the xml editor (endless loop) and in word I get a rather incomplete table. Used the commandline "D:\Program Files\Therion\therion.exe " --print-symbols in Windows. A snapshot of incomplete table when viewed with word. (I cut it off after "point continuation") Symbol set ASF BCRA NSS SKBB UIS point station:temporary point station:painted point station:natural point station:fixed line survey point station-name 173 point entrance line arrow line map-connection line wall:bedrock line wall:underlying line wall:unsurveyed line wall:presumed line wall:blocks line wall:debris line wall:pebbles line wall:sand line wall:clay line wall:ice point wall-altitude 1510 point altitude 1510 line section point passage-height:unsigned 5 point passage-height:positive 3 point passage-height:negative 2 point passage-height:both 3 2 point air-draught point air-draught:winter point air-draught:summer point date 31-12-1999 point continuation Is there a current example somewhere? on the Wiki? Thanks Bruce

She also uses ed! She is a sys admin and thinks therion is really nice :-) We will eventually get around to putting up a map of the cave on a web site. At present we just have a small entry on your Wiki (Fig Tree Cave, Wombeyan). Mike & Jill

Size of Drawing Area?
by Bruce Mutton 25 Feb '08

25 Feb '08

Hi all The area of one of my scans (actually a composite of multiple scan files) exceeds the area of the 'white space' in the drawing editor, and at 100% zoom and greater I cannot always access this outer area for drawing. (I have not experimented too much, because I think one of you will be able to answer this easily) I have a very complex, single layer, part of a cave that is surrounded by about five simple passages that intersect it, so I want it to be one scrap. Are there any restrictions on drawing outside the 'white space' other that not being able to view it at higher magnifications? For example, will Therion clip the scrap to these borders? And if there is a problem, what is the best solution(s)? Two or more scraps? Scan at lower resolution? Stitch scans together before loading into the drawing editor? Other ideas? Regards Bruce Mutton

Therion 0.5.1 in Debian Testing
by Wookey 20 Feb '08

20 Feb '08

Therion 0.5.1 has finally migrated into Debian Testing (after a month's delay due to build problems on sparc). I will now upload v0.5.2, which will hopefully migrate a bit faster. As ever feedback on the Debian packaging is very welcome. Wookey -- Principal hats: Balloonz - Toby Churchill - Aleph One - Debian http://wookware.org/

easyer to handle?
by Stefan Oswald 19 Feb '08

19 Feb '08

Hi together, We draw on therion in our caving club, but we have a few problems, which i want to report to you, we also have made a little "brainstorming"... It is always very difficult to introduce new people, no software engineers, into therion, also i had great problems. The map editor user interface gives many options, but thereby it is not really easy to handle, the same with the layout. It is difficult to produce a good looking plan-layout with text and so on. A generall icon-interface, such as most leading CAD programmes use would be much more efficient in our opinion. Is this planed in final version? In Therion you draw something and you do not know what it will exactly look like. For handling the Programm it would be easyer if you could immediately see the result without pressing F9, opening the .pdf, take a look at the result, close it again (Windows) and return to therion. just an idea. Also showing other scraps (.th2 files) in map editor, as with CAD for Cavers (Autocad) would be an option. To abstract we mean placing focus on usability would make it easyer for many people using therion, not only in our club. Glück Tief from stefan and the Höhlenbären caving club

FOSDEM 2008
by David A. Riggs 18 Feb '08

18 Feb '08

Will there be any Therion/Survex developers or users at FOSDEM [1] this weekend? Care to meet up and talk caving, surveying, geeking, etc. - perhaps at the beer event on Friday night? I'll be flying in to Brussels from the US and will be in the general area for 10 days. I don't plan on bringing much gear, but I don't think I can go 10 days without being underground! Perhaps someone would be interested in caving after the conference... Dave Riggs NSS 56189 Morgantown, WV, US [1] http://fosdem.org/2008/ -- David A. Riggs <david.a.riggs(a)gmail.com>
