hi bruce,

passage-height goes with modes 2, 3, 4, and 5

dave might redefine the mpost macros scaling the label (lab) in a custom layout.

Dave
The key to modifying the symbol definition
may lie in the file thText.mp in the sources
?
Ie Here is the code from 5.3.9 as an
example
?
vardef p_label@#(expr txt,pos,rot,mode) =
? if (mode=1) or (mode=7): interim
labeloffset:=(u/8) fi;
? lab:=thelabel@#(txt, pos);
? if mode>1: pickup PenD fi;
? if mode=1:
??? pickup pencircle scaled
(u/6);
??? drawdot(pos);
??? process_label(pos,0);
? elseif mode=2:
process_uplabel;??????
? elseif mode=3: process_downlabel;
? elseif mode=4: process_updownlabel;
? elseif mode=5:
process_circledlabel;
? elseif mode=6: process_boxedlabel;
? elseif mode=7:
process_label(pos,rot);? % station name
? elseif mode=8:
process_filledlabel(pos, rot);
? else: process_label(pos,rot); fi;
enddef;
?
I have not looked into how it works, but I?m
guessing the ?point height? and ?point passage-height?
labels are one of the ?modes? above, and that the processes called
are default metapost routines.? Too complicated for me to unravel.
?
BTW shouldn?t you be using ?point
height? to indicate the height of cobble banks, rather than ?point
passage-height?? (Probably the same symbol size issue will apply).
?
Also, as a path to a possible work around,
I think the AUT symbol set includes the option to label ?line pit?
(or is it ?line wall:pit?)?? I have never managed to get it to
work ? but have not tried too hard either.

Footleg - I'm not using the symbol to control the passage height, I'm
using it to show the depth of a trench in a gravel bank.
Vasily - I'm already using base-scale to control the size of other symbols
but this one is too big. I need to make it smaller without changing all the
symbols. The size is probably related to the font size but again I'm happy with
the font size for labels etc, I just want to change this particular symbol.

It looks the xs s and m scale are not enough differenced - see attachment
