Re: [Therion] Legendsymbols - vertical distance between boxes

28 Feb 2018

      Hi

I figured out that it's most likely the last line of code to change the distance of the symbol boxes:
\hsize=\tmpdimen\rightskip=0pt plus \tmpdimen minus 0pt\relax\the\legendtextsize #2\vskip10pt}\hss}

Someone have to change the statement "vskip..." and the distance is changing.

But somehow confusing is that not all distances are the same...
If you have a closer look to it you will see that some distances are less than other.
In the attached screenshot you can see that the red marked distances are different to the blue ones.
(I only changed this one statement mentioned above from "vskip1dd" to "vskip10pt")
Can anyone explain this strange behaviour? Henry!?

Thanks.
Torsten

Hi
Can anyone describe how to change the vertical distance between the symbol boxes inside the legend symbols?
    I asume it should be done somehow within this code (or not?):
code tex-map
        \def\legendsymbolswidth1{18 cm}
        \def\legendsymbolbox#1#2{
          \setbox\tmpboxa=\hbox{\pdfrefxform#1}
          \setbox\tmpboxb=\hbox{\the\legendtextsize(}
          \legendsymbolwd=\wd\tmpboxa
          \legendsymbolht=\ht\tmpboxa
          \advance\legendsymbolht by -\ht\tmpboxb
\advance\legendsymbolht by -1dd
          \tmpdimen=\hsize
            \advance\tmpdimen by 10pt
            \divide\tmpdimen by\legendcolumns
            \advance\tmpdimen by-10pt
          \hbox to \tmpdimen{
            \box\tmpboxa\kern10pt\raise\legendsymbolht\vtop{
              \advance\tmpdimen by -\legendsymbolwd
              \advance\tmpdimen by -10pt
              \hsize=\tmpdimen\rightskip=0pt plus \tmpdimen minus 0pt\relax\the\legendtextsize #2\vskip1dd}\hss}
        }
\def\legendsymbols{
          \hsize=\legendsymbolswidth1
          \formattedlegend
        }
      endcode
Thanks,
    Torsten
