Dear Christian, any „beginner’s“ question to Therion’s mailing list is OK, because we are looking to try to solve as much as possible problems and ideas which cavers have about documentation of caves. You may not use symbols without definition of scraps - small parts of maps. But you may define a scrap (several stations long only) and use only point symbols for stations and let’s say symbol for entrance. Then the other one scrap and the next scrap… You should only define map then: map polygon_only.map -projection plan scrap1 scrap2 scrap3 … endmap in thconfig you just use „select“ command: select polygon_only.map m.s.

Hallo everyone,
just two questions, if you please, as it is sometimes not easy to find a negative ('cannot do') when searching through wiki pages and such.
I have not mastered working with maps, so far; and I am unsure whether I need them at all. So I would like to know whether it is possible to do these things without them:
First, I would like to know if I can get symbols like 'entrance' in the output:
In a th-file (called per 'input', of course) I have written the entry |station 0 "Mundloch" entrance and in the thconfig-file: | symbol-show point station …but I cannot get them to show in the output pdf. Is that the wrong way, in principle?
Second: The polygon draw leaves edges unfilled when two following, bending polygon lines (centrelines) meet. Can these edges be filled via interpolation or such?
Best regards, Christian
PS. As I do not want to flood the list with beginner questions, I would be happy if there is someone I could ask simple questions, perhaps via email? _______________________________________________ Therion mailing list Therion@speleo.sk http://mailman.speleo.sk/mailman/listinfo/therion
