I don't know if this is something to do with the 'why do extra 'text' lines appear' problem, but that is still present in this version. As Stacho can't repeat it I'd better try and work out what's going on myself.
Sorry for that :((( I forgot to remove this debugging line. Please comment out line 204 in me_cmds.tcl (puts "$f - $t [llength ...) and make once again. Will be fixed in new release.
BTW, for my little soundriver survey, this version gives a 127K PDF. v0.2.18 gave a 32K PDF. Is this dramatic increase expected?
Yes. We've changed the behaviour of area command. Now the sand is filled randomly - it looks much better on the map, but it takes much more space (because every dot is given by coordinates, before it was pattern with three dots). We are on the way to find a compromise - randomly filled pattern big enought, that it will not be too much visible, that it is a pattern. We would like to add "area blocks", where random blocks are definitely needed (it can not be pattern). Therefore we've changed the management of area commands - and "area sand" was used as a test (randomly generated dots clipped to area border). Regards, S.
