XVI commands: xth_me_area_adjust etc.
Hi Therion I'm the author of cave surveying app SexyTopo, and I'm trying to write a better Therion exporter. Previously I'd kind of hacked an exporter that did an approximate job, but I'm rewriting it and trying to do a better job. I understand I should generate an XVI file for each projection that represents the sketch. I then need to set this in the th2 file with some commands. For example: ##XTHERION## xth_me_area_adjust -132.0 -156.10532659555793 1768.2371519518056 726.0 ##XTHERION## xth_me_area_zoom_to 100 ##XTHERION## xth_me_image_insert {950.6824683592552 1 1.0} {267.841199967364 5} {blaengwynlais plan.xvi} 0 {} Are these documented anywhere? It seems like xth_me_area_adjust sets the dimensions of the image, and xth_me_image_insert specifies the position and filename, but I'm not clear what all the values represent. Many thanks for any pointers! Rich
Hi Rich, first of all, thanks a lot for the great work on SexyTopo! I like your app a lot. Unfortunately, there is no documentation, but the attributes are the following: xth_me_area_adjust <Xmin> <Ymin> <Xmax> <Ymax> - where Xmin, Ymin and Xmax, Ymax are cartesian coordinates of lower left and upper right corners of drawing area xth_me_area_zoom_to <zoom> - where <zoom> is the default zoom factor, when drawing is open in xtherion. Should be 25,50,100,200,400. xth_me_image_insert {<Xpos> <visibility> <gamma>} {<Ypos> <root>} {<filename>} 0 {} <Xpos> <Ypos> is the position of the 0,0 point of XVI coordinate system <visibility> - 0 image is hidden / 1 image is shown <gamma> - image gamma <root> - root station name (if XVI is changed during compilation, this station keeps its position relative to the entire drawing). Can be omitted. <filename> - name of image file 0 {} - image identifiers, can be 0 {} for all images - if it is like this, it will be calculated automatically HTH, S.

Thanks Stacho! That all makes sense now. I think I've managed to get the export working properly with that info. I don't suppose there is any way of inserting an SVG using xth_me_image_insert? That would be very useful. first of all, thanks a lot for the great work on SexyTopo! I like your app a lot. Thanks for all the work on Therion! I'm a big fan. cheers Rich On Sun, 28 Jan 2024 at 22:04, Stacho Mudrak <lists@group-s.sk> wrote:
