we should make a dedicated wiki page for scale dependant hiding of objects, including a summary of this email thread. What do you think?
Yes, scale dependant sizing and hiding. To my slight shame I have scattered around the place a few unfinished or misleading wiki pages that need attention. When my layouts and metapost have settled down I am open to writing a few words and posting some examples. In the meantime some topic ideas... -Therions built in features -symbol-show, symbol-hide -u: v: w: -scale dependant font sizes as setup in the initialise metapost definition -Base-scale for photo enlargement or for symbol scaling but not both -Using layouts to manage scale dependant sizing and hiding -Hiding point text entities -Hiding line entities (rocks, pitches, labels) -Hiding area fill entities Bruce
