A random discovery with the new
If one uses a defined coordinate system
and forgets to provide a survey date for all surveys, then there is some ‘not
very well trapped’ undesirable behaviour.
The log file produces something like this…
“C:\Program
Files\Therion\therion.exe: warning -- unable
to determine magnetic declination for undated surveys
output coordinate system: EPSG:2193
meridian convergence (deg): -0.0696
“
which is appropriate behaviour, however it
is followed by…

which is not so good, but
at least it does produce a generally OK looking pdf (with my experimental debug
like header layout).
In this case it might be
better to set \magdecl to a more meaningful
error value.
If it can take a string value then “unable to determine magnetic declination for undated
surveys” is probably good.
