I debianized and compiled 0.2.200400224 (is there any reason for not just calling this 0.2.19? - this is the 3rd decimal version number so it might as well go up with each new version you put out)
Sometimes there is a new version each day -- this is only something like CVS depository with up-to-date sources for developers. Numbered versions should have CHANGES and other documentation updated.
thbook says -clip <bool> but it's -clip <on/off> like most other options - confusing - I tried 0, false before getting it right. Make the docs consistent.
Will be fixed
What is the intended use of Rock-edge and rock border?
rock-border is the outer border, rock-edge marks edges inside a large block (is usually omited in smaller blocks)
Can you explain what base-scale actually does and how scale interacts - I don't feel I understand properly from reading the thbook. You may have answered this from looking at the article...
scale is the output scale. If you specify also base-scale, it has the effect as if you did the following steps: * print a map in base-scale * go to a copy shop and say 'I want a copy of this in the scale' both maps are finally in scale but with different line widths and symbol sizes.
I still can't get join [id:pt]@survey style to work: I get 'invalid object' join [fsceil1:0]@river [farsidewest3:8]@river. commented out in attached .th file.
omit the brackets. Unfortunately therionbook is misleading in this point.
In the legend 'Topo' is not english - need to be able to change that text. We have 'surveyed', 'explored' and 'drawn' normally.
Would it be correct to say Surveyed: A.B., C.D. Drawn: X.Y. ?
Also 'pit' is 'pitch' in UK english - only American's call them pits. Indeed UK and US caving english are quite different, if Therion takes account of translations - that's why survex has en-gb and en-us translations.
well, it is possible to use en-us and en-uk subtypes, but only for texts in the output files.
Is there an easy way of splitting lines without re-drawing? Needed for various situations, the above being just one example. At the moment I am deleting and re-drawing things when I want to split them, which is a pain.
select a point where the line should be splitted; than Line control->Edit line->Split line Martin
