Controlling map location on page
I'm just starting with Therion. I have the same problem as a user back in 2012: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.therion/3066 When using "export map" my map is at the top right corner of the page, with much white space to left and bottom. I could not see a satisfactory resolution in the above thread, although I assume its possible (simple). In the .th file I have defined: cs OSGB:SN fix 1.0 xxxx yyyy zzzz and in a "layout definition" in the .th file I have tried some combinations along the lines of cs OSGB:SN origin xxxx yyyy zzzz metres (or grid-origin...) but without any success in moving the map in the output pdf Thanks for any pointers...
If possible, could you post the data, or if not the output, this will make it easier to see what you mean and suggest solutions. Andrew On 5 Dec 2015 14:30, "Michael Perryman" <mac.perryman@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Andrew, This is the result of my survey of the entrance part of Ogof Marros, data taken yesterday. It appears that the survey is just placed up at the top right corner of the page... it doesn't look _too_ bad, but I was trying for some more control over its placing. Any suggestions? For the surveyors names, I just noticed (see attached) that Antonia F is placed before Michael P, whatever our respective roles. If there are n names, it should be possible to specify whatever name order I choose, not in some automated way, surely? I couldn't fathom this possibility from the documentation. I learned alot yesterday! I came away with by far not enough splays, for example. My final survey station was about 20cm from the end of a scaffolding bar (yup, I suspected it was too close, but it's a whopping loose boulder choke, and packed with Scaff, so avoiding is easier said than done), and I didn't study how the bearing changed with proximity to the bar, but the final measured leg seems to be off by 90 degrees compared with my expectation! More experimentation - and survey legs - needed next time! The water level was high again yesterday, and I suspect we will not be able to get through the streamway constriction until much longer periods of drier weather. One other question you might help with: as we moved between survey stations I let my PDA go into sleep mode, primarily to save the display power (and hence battery). But the Bluetooth link with the Disto was lost each time, and I had to reconnect manually each time via >Menu
Bluetooth >Connect. A pain. Should some auto connection be possible?

Hi Andrew,
For now I will only answer one part, hopefully more when I get time to experiment, or time for detailed comment.
For the surveyors names, I just noticed (see attached) that Antonia F is
placed before Michael P, whatever our respective roles. If there are n names, it should be possible to specify whatever name order I choose, not in some automated way, surely? I couldn't fathom this possibility from the documentation.
I do not think there is a way to control the order of the names gathered from the data files apart from what you have already mentioned. (I am not sure how other arrangements would be achieved, as, I believe, the names are not gathered until the files are processed.) However you can just override the auto list with code tex-map \topoteam{Your team.} endcode In the config file
Hi Michael, at the PDA try/use "Connection automatically". At my PDA it works good. It works, even if I shut off the PDA. After shut on and start PocketTopo again the connection will come automatically.
