Well, things are going well. I was thinking if it is possible to show the line with the ticks for the "gradient" symbol, and if is possible to change the ticks lenght in "floor step" and "slope" Cheers -- +-----------------------------------------------------------+ Carlos Henrique Grohmann - Guano Geologist M.Sc - Doctorate Student at IGc-USP - Brazil Linux User #89721 - carlos dot grohmann at gmail dot com +-----------------------------------------------------------+ _________________ "Good morning, doctors.

Do you mean point gradient symbol?
and if is possible to change the ticks lenght in "floor step" and "slope"
With the slope symbol, it is possible to do it directly in the xtherion interface. Just click the "l-size" checkbox in the "Line points" control panel and change the arrow shown in the map with mouse. Floor step symbol can be also changed only as a symbol redefinition (for all floor-steps in the map). Would you like to do this? S.

No sorry, I mean the line slope symbol.

Yes, thatś just what I want.

You can do this several ways, but the easiest is to redefine the symbol definition in layout. Just type into your layout: code metapost def l_floorstep (expr P) = T:=identity; cas := 0; dlzka := arclength P; mojkrok:=adjust_step(dlzka, 0.25u); pickup PenD; forever: t := arctime cas of P; mark_ (P,t,0.2u); cas := cas + mojkrok; exitif cas > dlzka + (mojkrok / 3); % for rounding errors endfor; pickup PenC; thdraw P; enddef; endcode where 0.2u (in line: mark_ (P,t,0.2u);) is the size of the tick. You may change this number e.g. to 0.1u or 0.5u. This magic code comes from metapost symbol definitions source file (thLine.mp). This way, all symbols can be changed. There are probably some other hints in therion book. S.
