There is also a "min-symbol-scale" option in layout, which hides smaller symbols. It might work similar to what you are doing in the font_setup metapost.
You can hide the smallest items, not the largest ones, but hiding the larger ones is not that useful anyway.

Hi Vladimir,

 

“-scale” sounds interesting.  One of the things I like about s,m,l,xl, etc was the ability in metapost to set xs to zero (0). 

 

Consider a system where you have a full size survey of a single cave.  I can draw that cave with full detail using xs set to a x font size. When that cave intercepts the cave master I can simply draw the system by suppressing some of the detail by using

 

  code metapost

    #change the size of the default fonts

    #fonts_setup(<tinysize>,<smallsize>,<normalsize>,<largesize>,<hugesize>);

    fonts_setup(0,18,40,64,80);

  endcode

 

I will take a look at –scale and see how that works in such a case.

After a talk with Stacho, he thought that it would be better not to increase the list of sizes. They are restrictive, in a sense that you have a limited set and can not use anything larger or smaller or in-between sizes.

There was a "scale" option that already existed, but was not enabled, so he enabled it.

For point and line items you can use this option:

"-scale <number>", where <number> is the scale factor. The normal size corresponds to 1.0, but you can use any value >0.

Hi,  I see that more text size options didn’t make it into the 5.4.1 release.

 

Would be great to see it in a future release.

 

Thanks, Henry

I can't confirm or test the issue, but if the -xl size is too small, you can check out the beta version here https://github.com/vldgeorgiev/therion/wiki

A few weeks ago I added three more large symbol sizes. E.g. 2XL, 3XL and 4XL. They might work in your case.


If I have time next week I will see about the frame size and why it is drawn smaller.
