input commands. This implies that sequence of commands is often unimportant in Therion?
In most cases, it is like this. Therion first creates all objects in surveys and afterwards it starts linking them together (e.g. controling map and station references).
Grid & Legend I'm intrigued by the grid and legend input and map definitions. Have you done something more refined than that generated with the thconfig export command?
What exactly would you like to receive? Here we have a lot of things in the TODO list.
Location of Maps Do you create all of your maps in the INDEX file, or are some defined in the lower hierarchal level survey.th files? My experiments so far have put my single (unsuccessful) map definition in the lowest level survey.th file (to keep it as close to it's source data as possible - and perhaps simplify my INDEX file) Does this make a difference? Perhaps it is my mistake?
I do it also usually like this.
Elevations Completely irrelevant to bens example. But I just figured out why I could not get projected elevations to work. The syntax, complete with square brackets is;
export map -projection [elevation 60 deg] -output cave.pdf
(I was assuming the brackets denoted optional arguments, and so I was leaving them out!)
Well, we are also not very happy with input language - a lot of things are not intuitive... but it is too late to change it :( It was one of not very happy choices at the beginning. Regards, S.
