Re: [Therion] Therion Digest, Vol 94, Issue 23 extended section colored by altitude
Subject: [Therion] extended section colored by altitude To: therion@speleo.sk Message-ID: <1382891575.29328.BPMail_high_noncarrier@web120301.mail.ne1.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
marco menchise asked me why extended sections do not come colored by altitide. indeed coloring ext. sectiion by altitude (or depth) would make sense to me ... tried with 5.3.11 and they come white. looked at the source, and the Z coord that it used to color by altitude is set to 0 for the extended section. any reason why? marco
Surely the reason is you don't need it. The passage at top of the page is high and the passage at the bottom is low. If the colours were used on a section it would be reasonable to assume that the colours would indicate which passages lay behind other passages but this couldn't apply to an extended section as passages are stretched out along the line of the projection.

If you have a plan and elevation, colouring both by depth consistently is useful to provide a clear visual cue as to which parts correspond. Cheers, Olly
Yes, indeed. That's why I asked Marco about colored extended sections. Marco On Wed, Oct 30, 2013 at 11:03 PM, Olly Betts <olly@survex.com> wrote:
