Does anyone have an explanation for the what and how
of ‘map-level’ as it relates to maps as described in this extract
from Pg 31 of the Therion Book 5.2.14…
preview <above/below> <other map id> will put the
outline of the other map in the
specified preview position relative to the current map.
Preview is displayed only if the map is in the map-level level as specified
by the
select command.
Use the revise command if you want to add maps from higher levels
to the preview.
I have only ever managed to create previews of maps
in the very simplest of cases (except I’m not sure exactly what constitutes
a simple case – the ones that don’t work seem to be quite straight
forward, and not much different to those that don’t work ). I
think it may relate to ‘map-level’.
I have asked on this forum about a year ago, but alas
I still have not resolved this. I have not been able to comprehend the
explanations in the wiki (which is similar to the Therion book extract above).
I think the first step to working it out might be to
understand what a map-level is. I think it is not referring to the
layering of scraps or maps within a map.
Maybe it is the level of the map in the hierarchy
displayed in the XTherion Compiler window ‘Map Structure’ panel?
If so how are they numbered? How to determine the map-level of any given
map? Top level 0 or 1? Bottom level 0 or 1?
How would I use ‘revise’ to change the
map-level of a map to enable a preview to be displayed?
My attempts to change something simple like a map –title
have all failed, so there must be something fundamental that I’m not
understanding.
Any assistance appreciated.
