Does anyone mind sending me one of your data sets. It would help me understand the structure and organization.
I have data for several cave areas on Vancouver Island BC Canada in Walls and On Station. I want to convert the whole mess.
My data sets are

Glory 'ole/Arch Cave area
   -18 km in 4 main caves and a dozen or so smaller caves linked by overland survey and GPS
   - longest caves are  Arch (10.6 km km 3 entrances), Glory 'ole (2.7 km) Pellucidar (1.9 km) Resonance (1.8 km)
   - Arch cave is divided into several series based on streams and distinct areas of the cave
   - 3 caves (Glory 'ole, Resonance, and Arch) overlap in plan view (I want to produce a high level map with all three caves in different colours, initially just line plots but eventually real maps)

White Ridge
-7 km in 3 main caves and a half dozen smaller caves Linked by radio location and GPS

Larch Mountain

2 km in 3 main caves and a dozen smaller caves linked by GPS

I also have a friend that manages data for Weymer Creek (over 30 km in over 100 caves, longest are 12 and 9 km lots of caves overlap in plan view). I am trying to convince him to switch to Therion too.

I am looking for an example data set that has

1) multiple caves in one caving area
2) at least one cave large enough to be broken into series
3) overlapping layers in at least one of the caves
4) examples of files to produces different outputs with overlapping caves or cave series in different colours on the same map.

Thanks,

Rob Countess

if all stations have different name in Compass and Walls, could they be put in a single survey name-space?
However, I agree that this is not the cleanest way as it is not respecting the structure of surveys that was previously defined.

The problem of Compass and Walls data conversion is generate list of equate commands. In Compass and Walls it is simple, because there couldn’t be two stations with identical name. But in Therion it is not a rule. So you should to do it manually.

in survey12 which is above survey1 and survey2:

equal a101@survey1 a101@survey2

<Glory.zip>

This is from the Glory ‘ole caving area on Vancouver Island. I surveyed there from 1996 to 2007 in Arch Cave (10.5 km) Glory ‘ole (now 2.8 km) and Resonance (now 1.8 km). The area had been previously explored from 1980-1988 and some maps produced by hand. Much of the original data was lost. I resurveyed a few km in Arch cave and added 5 km but never completed a map due to the fact that loop closures were wreaking havoc with my walls and Illustrator attempts at a map. The original data in Arch was sketchy solo topofil survey. Resonance was extended by about 1km and an map produced but recently another half kilometre of passage has been added. Glory ‘ole was increased by about a kilometre but the main passage original survey 1.3 km needed to be resurveyed which led to no map. There are drafting leads in connection areas between the three caves. Two other caves Pellucidar and Tsulton Rising (cave dive) were managed by Pat Shaw, a cave diver.

I went off to medical school in 2007 and nobody picked up the torch as far as drawing maps. Now I’m back and we are at it again. I want Therion to keep the maps up to date with the exploration going forward.

The data is from 2004. I lost my 2007 copy due to 7 years of neglect and hard drive failure. I still have original notes of all exploration I was involved in but there are probably 3 km of passage that should be resurveyed.

I’m getting the hang of Therion and have got Resonance and Glory ‘ole centerline data converted over.

Robert, may you send me an example of Walls data?

I was surprised how simple is to convert Compass data to Therion. As I may say, Compass data are small subset of Therion’s format so several simple copy/paste made the job.

19. 4. 2015 v 6:41, Robert Countess <rob.countess@gmail.com>:

Thanks for the help.

Generated my first pdf plan and profile with UTM/elevation and xvi file for drawing map. I love how automatic many of these things are. I am feeling hopeful about Therion now. I am stoked to finally finish the maps of Arch, Resonance, and Glory ‘ole and hopefully later this summer we will connect them all to make it at least Canada’s second longest Cave. If I get this working, I’m sure I can convince some other Canadian cavers to use Therion. Then again I can’t even get them to use Walls. Many are still using On Station. I think the speed and flexibility of output with win them over.

One tiny annoyance. One of the surveyors last names is von Vorkampff and Therion gives and “invalid name format” error message. I changed it to von_Vorkampff and bypassed the error but with sub par final map output - it says  von.Vorkampff

Again, thanks for helping me out. I’m sure I’ll have more questions later.

This is exactly the reason that 20 years ago binary linux
distributions were invented, to replace the previous painful process
of users downloading code and tools and dependencies and building
them all until they got some software working. 'brew' attempts to
automate this process but there are still a lot of ways it can go
wrong.

Do Mac people not have a proper packaging system someone could make
therion packages for?

_____________________________________________________

A program named WISH opened and window named therion compiler. The Status bar
at the bottom read ?User interface is not active. To activate it open and
existing file or create a new one."
When I try to open a file with either the Wish file|open or the folder button
I am unable to open any files in the Demo data set - they are all grey and
cannot be selected.

I am a first time user. Previously used On Station and the Walls. I had data
for 3 major caving areas in Walls totalling about 50 km of cave. I want to
switch it all to Therion but if I can?t get the program to work then I?ll have
to stick with Walls.
I'm sure we can get you going. We do have several mac users here, but
I'm not one so can't really provide much help.

Can you get a command prompt? Can you run 'xtherion' from there?
That's the user interface for drawing stuff up.

'therion' is the compiler tool that processes the data. What happens
if you run 'therion -v version'? Does that print out a version? or
'therion --print-init-file'?

If you can convert some of your (centreline) data (just using a text
editor) you should be able process it using just 'therion'.

You will need xtherion in order to draw up cave sections.

Has anyone written a walls to therion conversion tool? I'm not aware of
one.
