Re: [Therion] Therion Digest, Vol 221, Issue 2
Thanks Bill. Marco has clarified that "point:photo" in Topodroid is not complete. So, essentially, I shouldn't be using it. Event if it were complete, Therion is not programmed to handle it. As you suggest, in Therion it is simply placing a symbol, in this case a symbol that looks like a camera. After what you say about placing photos being a pain, I'm now leaning toward putting the camera symbol on the map with a reference number associated with it and providing the images in separate lookup table somewhere. That probably serves my purpose just as well.

I'll persevere with it to get it going eventually. What I'd like to do is automatically process the photo point type directly to insert the image at the point on the map without having to manually insert the photo image. As part of the solution I'm also hoping to stop Therion erroring when it sees the photo point type that Topodroid has inserted into the file.

In Topodroid the point is associated with a photograph in .jpg format. The export .th2 file shows a line like this : point 258.69 97.28 photo -text "a photo" -photo 1.jpg I'm trying to get a photo image to appear on the map at that point. Therion doesn't like the -text or the -photo parameters. The Therion book doesn't say a lot about it and doesn't include those parameters or any others relating specifically to the photo point type. Is there any way to use the point data from Topodroid to actually place the image on the map. It looks like it can't be done natively so maybe some Metapost code that will interpret the data and write the image? I don't know Metapost well enough to know if it can be done. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Nigel
Keeping photos in a separate file is, I think, a good idea, especially if there are a lot of them. As Nigel suggests, using point:photo and a label would connect them. The photo page could include captions and other descriptive text. If the photo pages and the map are both PDF, then it is trivial to join them into a single file for distribution. You could also have a page (or several!) of profiles appended to the main map. =============== Bill Gee On 5/13/24 05:24, Nigel via Therion wrote:

Hi guys, I added new data and scraps to a working therion project that was ok with the option "color map-fg altitude” and now I have several errors like the one below:
d-589.46178 ! Not implemented: mexp(unknown numeric). <to be read again> ) s_altitudebar->...:=floor(dv*(10**(floor(dlog-1))) );if(dv>0)or(floor(EXPR1)-... l.11317 ...,(0.00750,0.75000,0.00000,0.00000))("") ; I'm afraid I don't know how to apply that operation to that particular type. Continue, and I'll simply return the argument (shown above) as the result of the operation.
If I use "color map-fg scrap” it works fine, any idea of what could be wrong, I’ve been looking for hours and can’t find where is the problem ? Thanks, Phil
