I've just tried this again and it's fine so I must have been doing something wrong. Dave Clucas daveclucas.com mycaves.org. On 14 Jan 2013, at 21:25, therion-request@speleo.sk wrote:

hi bruce,

passage-height goes with modes 2, 3, 4, and 5

dave might redefine the mpost macros scaling the label (lab) in a custom layout.

Dave The key to modifying the symbol definition may lie in the file thText.mp in the sources ? Ie Here is the code from 5.3.9 as an example ? vardef p_label@#(expr txt,pos,rot,mode) = ? if (mode=1) or (mode=7): interim labeloffset:=(u/8) fi; ? lab:=thelabel@#(txt, pos); ? if mode>1: pickup PenD fi; ? if mode=1: ??? pickup pencircle scaled (u/6); ??? drawdot(pos); ??? process_label(pos,0); ? elseif mode=2: process_uplabel;?????? ? elseif mode=3: process_downlabel; ? elseif mode=4: process_updownlabel; ? elseif mode=5: process_circledlabel; ? elseif mode=6: process_boxedlabel; ? elseif mode=7: process_label(pos,rot);? % station name ? elseif mode=8: process_filledlabel(pos, rot); ? else: process_label(pos,rot); fi; enddef; ? I have not looked into how it works, but I?m guessing the ?point height? and ?point passage-height? labels are one of the ?modes? above, and that the processes called are default metapost routines.? Too complicated for me to unravel. ? BTW shouldn?t you be using ?point height? to indicate the height of cobble banks, rather than ?point passage-height?? (Probably the same symbol size issue will apply). ? Also, as a path to a possible work around, I think the AUT symbol set includes the option to label ?line pit? (or is it ?line wall:pit?)?? I have never managed to get it to work ? but have not tried too hard either. ? Bruce ?

Footleg - I'm not using the symbol to control the passage height, I'm using it to show the depth of a trench in a gravel bank. Vasily - I'm already using base-scale to control the size of other symbols but this one is too big. I need to make it smaller without changing all the symbols. The size is probably related to the font size but again I'm happy with the font size for labels etc, I just want to change this particular symbol. ?
