I?ve tried out the following example from thbook adding this to my layout
code tex-map \def\maplayout{ \legendbox{0}{100}{NW}{\northarrow} } endcode
This works fine for \northarrow and \scalebar but when I tried it with \cavename or \comment I get the following error
(./th_formdef.tex) (./th_pagedef.tex ! Missing { inserted. <to be read again> } \legendbox ...\unskip \setbox \tmpboxa =\vbox {#4} \sx =\wd \tmpboxa \sy =\ht...
\maplayout -> \legendbox {0}{100}{NW}{\comment }
l.12 \setbox\xxx=\hbox to \x{\maplayout \hfill}%\dp\xxx=0bp A left brace was mandatory here, so I've put one in. You might want to delete and/or insert some corrections so that I will find a matching right brace soon. (If you're confused by all this, try typing `I}' now.)
) (./th_pages.tex) 54 numeric registers used out of 32768
! Missing } inserted. <inserted text> } <to be read again> \end l.653 \end
I've inserted something that you may have forgotten. (See the <inserted text> above.) With luck, this will get me unwedged. But if you really didn't forget anything, try typing `2' now; then my insertion and my current dilemma will both disappear.

This is a side effect of redefining map layout in TeX directly. There is a work-around, though, if you add other \legendbox to insert the image, like \legendbox{0}{100}{NW}{\loadpicture{/absolute/path/to/file}} Martin
Hi All, I have done lots of playing with the redefinition of map layouts in Therion (actually TeX). I have found that there is a border around the pdf images which are included, resulting in significant white space. I would rather have smaller borders in my pdfs that are generated in Therion and then included in the final map.Is there a way to make the borders smaller, or have the white space transparent in the included maps (using such things as "legendbox{0}{100}{NW}{loadpicture{/absolute/path/to/file}}" Thanks, Rowena ----- Original Message ----- From: "List for Therion users" To:"List for Therion users" Cc: Sent:Mon, 3 Nov 2014 22:39:12 +0100 Subject:Re: [Therion] Customising map layout On Mon, Nov 3, 2014 at 1:00 PM, Dave Clucas wrote:

Rowena I think these are both already features of Therion. I think you are referring to what is controlled by ‘overlap’, at least for map exports – for altas the concept is the same, but the effect is slightly different. From the Therion Book… overlap <value> <units> ◃ set overlap size in paper units in the atlas mode or map margin in the map mode (M, A; default: 1 cm) For map exports it is the margin that Therion adds outside of the rectangle that exactly bounds the cave. For transparent backgrounds, you should be able to use, within a defined layout color map-bg transparent In 5.3.5 there was a bug, whereby, as a work around, you had to put the statement as part of an export command, ie export map \ -layout-color map-bg transparent \ -output cave.pdf and this worked quite well. Unfortunately last few versions at least, I have not been able to get transparent backgrounds to work, and so it has constrained the quality of some of our recent maps. Any updates on workarounds to get transparent backgrounds to work greatly appreciated.

Hi, I have 5.3.15 installed. The overlap works well. Overlap 0 cm gives no border so I can make maps look neater. Also color map-bg transparent seems to work as well.

Rowena Glad both those suggestions worked.
color map-bg transparent
seems to work as well.
Hmm, as I said, not for me, but it is good to know it works for someone. Maybe my layouts are so complicated that I am missing something. I will have to look at that some more. Bruce
