Extended elevation of a vertical cave
Hello, I'm working on an extended elevation map of our last explorations in Picos de Europa (Spain). The cave is mainly vertical (~ -300m) with ... too many networks for my liking. I'm using therion 5.3.6. However, two issues are blocking me: 1) Drawings ropes: Is there a mean to draw ropes (a kind of rope line)? I've just found rope points but not lines. Some emails on the list have mentionned this issue but without a clear answer for me. 2) A vertical scalebar: The legend is pretty nice, but the scalebar is horizontal. I was not able to fnd a way to draw a nice vertical scale bar on the map. Many thanks if someone can help. François SCOF - http://scof91.free.fr/
Francois I quick reply before I'm off to work... Ropes I just use 'line border' for my ropes. A better approach would be to define your own line type rope and assign it an already defined linetype (like 'border'). [This is quite easy but I'd have to look it up -obviously not so easy as I would have done it already! - someone else may have it on the tip of their tongue] This would allow you to change all the 'ropes' at some future time just by adding the symbol definition - when you could find time to make a line rope definition to your liking. Scalebar Unless someone has already written one, you could modify Thomas Holders code from here http://therion.speleo.sk/wiki/doku.php?id=metapost#special_symbol_examples If you are brave enough for metapost that is.

Barbare, I've got that scalebar definition to put in your layout. If you exchange the x and y coordinates, this should give something interestingly vertical. However, the main problem will be that you have to redefine the whole legend environment in tex to make it vertical scalebar-friendly... I can try to look at that this week-end when I finish the maps and report from St Laurent Xavier def s_scalebar (expr l, units, txt) = begingroup interim warningcheck:=0; tmpl:=l / Scale * cm * units / 2; endgroup; pickup PenC; draw (-tmpl,0)--(tmpl,0); draw (-tmpl,0)--(-tmpl,4bp); draw (tmpl,0)--(tmpl,4bp); draw (-tmpl,4bp)--(tmpl,4bp); fill (0,4bp)--(tmpl,4bp)--(tmpl,0)--(0,0)--cycle; fill (-4/5*tmpl,4bp)--(-3/5*tmpl,4bp)--(-3/5*tmpl,0)--(-4/5*tmpl,0)--cycle; fill (-2/5*tmpl,4bp)--(-1/5*tmpl,4bp)--(-1/5*tmpl,0)--(-2/5*tmpl,0)--cycle; begingroup interim labeloffset:=2bp; label.top(thTEX("0" & "\thinspace" & txt), (-tmpl,6bp)); label.top(thTEX(decimal (l) & "\thinspace" & txt), (tmpl,6bp)); endgroup enddef; Le 03/11/2011 20:38, Bruce a écrit :

This would be currently the best option. In the future there should be a special symbol for ropes. If you are ready to experiment with metapost code and user defined symbols, there is already a preliminary symbol for ropes in elevation maps (imitating freely hanging rope) in therion sources (mpost/thLine.mp -> l_rope_SKBB). martin
Hello Francois,
1) Drawings ropes: Is there a mean to draw ropes (a kind of rope line)? I've just found rope points but not lines. Some emails on the list have mentionned this issue but without a clear answer for me.
we use a user defined rope line. Here is the metapost code snippet: # FUND line rope u:rope -------------------------------# def l_u_rope (expr P) = T:=identity; pickup pensquare scaled (1.0*u/10); thdraw P withcolor (0.35,0.75,1.0); pickup PenC; thdraw P dashed dashpattern(on 1bp off 2bp on 1bp off 2bp); enddef; It is a dashed white/blue line and looks like a static rope.
