symbol for a stump?
Howdy! Does anybody have any suggestions as to what sort of symbol I should use to indicate a stump? It is hanging over the entrance and I can't really leave it off the map. I can make a big brown circle, but I was hoping somebody has a more elegant solution. Have any of you ever run into this before? Thanks! -Jonny -- ^v^ ^v^ ^v^ Take nothing but pictures, ^v^ Leave nothing but footprints, ^v^ Kill nothing but time. (**)
I am sorry for the late answer, firstly I thought I can answer immediatelly, but then I realized - that solution I wanted to suggest you is still not fully supported. OK - I am not sure, I 100% understand what do you mean by stump and how does your symbol for it looks like (is it point, line or area symbol?). But for such cases - there is "user defined" symbol in therion. Whatever symbol it is (point, line, area), I would use u:stump type for it - this you can do also in the current version, but symbol will be just shown with red color. In the next release, there will be support for these symbols to show them also in legends, hide-show them in maps etc. The only problem is, that you will have to define MP macro for your symbol - but for most cases, this macro is very simple and if you will send us picture how your symbol looks like, we can send you the correct macro. Would such a symbol type solve your problem? Regards, S. Jonathan Prouty wrote:

No problem at all.

It is an area symbol. The cave isn't that big (it's just a pit), so the stump can actually be drawn to scale on the map. What I envisioned was a circle with a relatively thick border (representing the bark of the tree) with thinner concentric circles inside this (representing the rings). I've attached a scan of how I sketched it. Thanks for the help! -Jonny -- ^v^ ^v^ ^v^ Take nothing but pictures, ^v^ Leave nothing but footprints, ^v^ Kill nothing but time. (**)
