Hi all, I have translated 0.3.6's user interface to spanish. You'll find a file with strings on http://www.infonegocio.com/tatel/ If you are on *nix, and want to translate therion to your own language as soon as posible, you could use translate.sh, wich is not more than a collection of awk and sed commands. Of course you need to edit strings first ;-) Cheers

Picts of projects made in therion
by Martin Sluka 03 Feb '05

03 Feb '05

Dear friends, we are looking to write an article about therion - main part of article should be the realised surveying projects made with help of therion. May you help us and if possible to send picts (PDFs) - of your maps? Only outlines and headers and a few details -localisation (country, region), part of which project is particular map, length, maybe interesting detail of map. You may use next layout settings for the whole map: scale 1 1000 color map-fg 70 color map-bg 100 symbol-hide group all symbol-show line wall transparency on opacity 70 All maps will be published from bitmaps. TIA Martin Sluka --

therion protractor
by Carlos Henrique Grohmann 01 Feb '05

Hello, I'm a geologist/speleologist in Brazil. I find the Therion Protractor in the www and find it very useful, but here we use more often a 1:400 scale. I have printed the protractor at 50% of the original size, but the results were not so good, so I was thining if you could send me a vetorial version of it (in degrees), either in SVG, CDR,WMF or any other format. thank you so much cheers Carlos Grohmann - Guano -- +----------------------------------------------------------+ Carlos Henrique Grohmann - Guano Geologist M.Sc - Doctorate Student at IGc-USP - Brazil Linux User #89721 - guano at usp dot br +----------------------------------------------------------+

Compilation Problems...
by Thierry GONON 26 Jan '05

26 Jan '05

Hello, I'm working on Mac OSX (previously working with Toporobot and intended to find another software, to compare...) and I've found Therion this week... So I've downloaded the sources to compile them, but during the make install procedure, the Terminal answered : I don't know what are the two --symbolic : file or directory?? Do I have to create them, as I do for the Therion and Xtherion directories?? Thank you very much, and enjoy caving!! Thierry GONON 2 Place de l'Eglise 01150 LAGNIEU FRANCE

SVG output from therion
by John Pybus 25 Jan '05

25 Jan '05

Hi, I've been investigating what it would take to get therion to produce SVG maps. I'm not too interested in replacing pdftex to produce atlases: output in pdf seems fine for that, but I find it hard to successfully convert pdfs with transparency into something I can edit and add into larger posters/publications. I note that tunnelX have recently acquired an SVG output module, but then they have it easy rendering through the Java2D API as they can just plug in Batik. Looking at the 0.3.5 sources I'd originally though that the output of metapost was used by pdftex, but I see that you parse the PS and write your own pdf fragments. Since SVG uses exactly same rendering model as pdf it should be easy enough to adapt this to produce SVG fragments also. With these, replacing pdftex for the job of stitching the fragments together into a map should be feasible. Do the developers have any comments on this? If it seems sensible to you then I'll have a go at an svg version of thconvert.cxx when I get some free time. Also, do you have a CVS/svn repository for the code? If so, would it be possible for that to be exposed read-only? I hate developing against point releases when I know that a project is still undergoing such active development. Cheers, John

string list
by Roman Muñoz 25 Jan '05

25 Jan '05

Could you give me a list of strings to translate user interface? I started editing files in xtherion directory just for fun; after the first rush, I can see aprox 60% of my user interface in spanish. However, I'm getting some nasty errors about bad index entries because I feared to touch some things not marked label or text. I'm not a coder and this is the first time I see Tcl code. Fixed the first four or five errors, but detected others, and got a beautiful freeze just now. Expended more time debugging than translating. Regards, Roman
