I have done some Metapost code for symbols like stalactites and stalacmites, and I modified the popcorn symbol, so Metapost is not completely alien to my experience. I am no expert, though. The pendant symbol is a bit of a challenge because it is not straight lines. I need to figure out how to draw curved lines for it. The stromatolite symbol is even more of a challenge because I can't find anything to draw! One of my caving buddies has created his own symbol. He did it as a small jpg file, and I think I could do it in Metapost without much trouble. I would like to use an official symbol, if such a thing exists.

Try to check the links on wiki, there are many of examples how to use metapost. The simplest way is to find something similar you need and modify code.

Hello everyone -
I need to put some pendants and stromatolites on a map. I do not see these symbols in Therion. Has anyone already done the Metapost code for them?
The symbol for a pendant looks sort of like the Greek letter upsilon, except it has rounded corners instead of sharp.
Attached is a bit of the sketch I am working from which shows the pendant symbol.
Thanks - Bill Gee
