Hi,

you can modify the appearance of lines (using s_vgrid MetaPost macro as you tried) and also the alignment of the altitude labels (using \gridcoord TeX macro).

This modification (it's simplified and wouldn't work for the plan projection) displays coordinates on the outer side of the imaginary map box, vertically centered on the elevation lines:

\def\gridcoord#1#2{\hbox to0pt{%
  \ifnum#1=3\hss\fi
  \ifnum#1=9\hss\fi
    \vbox to0pt{%
      \vss
      \kern2pt%
      \hbox{\kern2pt#2\kern2pt}%
      \kern2pt%
      \vss
    }%
  \ifnum#1=1\hss\fi
  \ifnum#1=7\hss\fi
  }%

Cheers
Martin

Hi all,
 
I am looking for a way to extend the gridlines in an extended elev to the left and right that the alitude notations don't cover the survey.
If u think of the survey as a box it would be good to have the altitude-notations outside this box (in fact I think this is a bug).
 
I tried to change the s_vgrid definition a bit but only achieved that my lines get longer and are dashed again (if xpos < -1: 0). Text won't move though...
It also would be nice to get a non italic font for the notations. I guess the key is to know where Therion actually generates the grid?
 
would be greate if someone could give me a kick in the right direction
 
cheers,
Axel Hack
