Hi,
How do I make underlying passage look paler than the main passage?
It is very simple:
Adding in the "break"s within the maps worked well, thank you! Now I have another question to do with scaling... I want to print out the final survey at 1:500 (to be consistent with other caves in the area). However most of the cave passages are between 1 and 2m wide. I have noticed that you use 1:200 for drawing up passages of a similar width, and have therefore the symbol sizes have been designed accordingly. I tried several different combinations of scale and base-scale options, with the following results: 1) scale 1 500 * symbols (water and air flow arrows especially) are disproportionately large for the passage, the arrow heads of the water-flows are often larger than the passages they are in * wall lines seem very thick, and overshadow the smaller passages 2) scale 1 500 base-scale 1 200 * labels are small (but I can change that easily enough with the "fonts_setup" thing described in The Therionbook) * water-flow arrowheads are all wiggly rather than triangular * air-flow arrows and other symbols are great 3) scale 1 200 * symbols look good * but at 1:200, not 1:500, perhaps I could scale it in a graphics package before printing, though this seems like cheating! Any suggestions for how to create the best output? Thanks, Jenny
