Hello everyone - I have several questions regarding elevation profiles. I am not sure this is the correct term, so here is a link to a map which shows what I am looking for. http://www.planivy.cz/aktivity/47/planivy_mapa.png The elevation profile is the bottom part of this map. It is similar to a cross-section except it goes along the survey centerline. 1) When creating the scraps, are these defined as "elevation" or as "extended"? I cannot find anything in the Therion book which describes what the difference is. 2) How are these included in the main map? As best I can figure, I need to define a new layout for the profile, export it, then use some sort of image or include to get it to show up on the main map. If true, then perhaps I need to create a new thconfig file just for the profile. Is this illustrated with any of the samples that come with Therion? I looked at some (not all) of the samples and did not see anything obvious. Thanks - Bill Gee
Bill In answer to your questions... 1) When creating the scraps, are these defined as "elevation" or as "extended"?
I cannot find anything in the Therion book which describes what the difference is. Yes, I commiserate. I added this to the wiki some time back.
http://therion.speleo.sk/wiki/doku.php/faq#projections_plan_elevation_extend ed_and_none The example you linked to looks like "extended", but the principle for including a map within a map is identical regardless of the projections. 2) How are these included in the main map? You can do it in a single thconfig file (or multiple files). Main thing is to create the 'inserted' map before creating the main map, so in a single thconfig you would write in this order... export map -proj extended -layout LayoutExtended -o MillCreekExtendedElevation.pdf export map -proj plan -layout mainmap -o MillCreekCave.pdf Somewhere in the layout for mainmap you would have already included; map-image 0 0 nw MillCreekExtendedElevation.pdf or else you could do the second export like this without including the output image in the layout. export map -proj plan \ -layout mainmap \ -layout-map-image 0 0 nw MillCreekExtendedElevation.pdf \ -o MillCreekCave.pdf I think it is written up somewhere, perhaps it is only in the forum posts.
