I just made my first atlas map. I am getting the hang of it but note that there are a couple of problems. See http://wookware.org/mulu/terikanatlas.pdf (this is not at all finished - in fact it's a bit of mess right now but it illustrates the problems below) 1) There are various blank pages. Why is this? e.g. page17,18,19 2) Note that whenever the cave crosses the 'edge of atlas page' line there is a fill glitch: Left hand side page 1, Right hand uppper page 2 svn of dataset available at svn://wookware.org/mulusurvey (mail or IRC me for the password). These plots done on therion 0.3.10 as I am having problems with 0.4.0. More soon.

Quoting Wookey <wookey@aleph1.co.uk>:
1) There are various blank pages. Why is this? e.g. page17,18,19
Until now, we did not find an efficient way how to detect whether there is something drawn on the page. We use scrap outline, so if there is "diagonal" scrap, pages in 2 corners becomes empty. We remove empty pages at the end, when everything is ready (I guess using layout exclude-pages option).
2) Note that whenever the cave crosses the 'edge of atlas page' line there is a fill glitch: Left hand side page 1, Right hand uppper page 2
? I am not able to see this, could you please highlight it on some small picture?

What kind of problems with 0.4.0 do you have? S.

OK. Fair enough. I will do it that way.

Ah, OK. it is an evince rendering bug. It renders OK in xpdf. I will file a bug.

Mostly 'my debian packaging' I think. It seems to be running in debug mode and generating reams of output and then I got some error. And loch killed my X server! That is original 0.4.0 release. I need to incorporate latest code and then test again. Then I can give you usewful bug reports. I just went back to 0.3.10 so I could get some actual drawing done :-) Wookey -- Aleph One Ltd, Bottisham, CAMBRIDGE, CB5 9BA, UK Tel +44 (0) 1223 811679 work: http://www.aleph1.co.uk/ play: http://wookware.org/
