I've gone through the INSTALL and README docs and made lot of english corrections as well as fixed a few typos and other things that were less than clear. I hope I haven't incorrectly changed the meaning of anything.
Thanx a lot, I hope I'll have a piece of time next weekend, I'll try to go thrue it.
I've now understood the therion syntax and data structures in basic form and have converted a survex centreline dataset to Therion (which now processes without error with therion), but I am completely unable to use xtherion to do any drawing or create th2 files.
I need some clues about how to start.
If I go to 'map editor' and click file->new I get 'Error unknown option -state' - not sure how serious this is.
You have an 'old' version of tcl/tk ;-), in fact it is not serios - if you will remove it, it will work without any change. But I think, that update of Tcl/Tk is not so complicated. OK, probably I should remove this -state option, because usually people have version 3.2, and I'm working on 4. I'll see...
But how do I draw some lines round my survey? How do I get scans in to copy? How do I get the centreline in to draw around?
It is impossible to start without some idea about how to do these basic things, or at least some explanation of the principles of operation of xtherion :-)
Yes, we should write some HOWTO file... In fact, xtherion was an experiment - we just wanted to see, whether Tcl/Tk is able to operate 2D editor. When we've recognized, that it is usable - we've moved again back to therion developement. So xtherion map editor is a very minimalistic GUI - a lot of things are now left on operator and we do not plan to change this state in the near future. But writing a simple manual should be a question of one evening, so I should think about it... We will discuss next steps hopefully today, I'll let you know... Stacho
