[Therion] Printing xvi maps

[Cooper, Ben]

Hi Stacho,
I've been wanting to get print-outs of XVI, too, so I am verry
interested in your recommendation, below.  I've tried it, but this is
the result I get: only the centreline is visible, not LRUD.

Well, there is no direct way how to print XVI and I can not imagine how
it would
be possible. There is a possibility for printing canvas to postscript in
TCL,
but my experience with it is not very good.

I would suggest you to generate PDF map for printing. All items visible
in XVI
may be also visible in PDF. Just use export command:

export map.pdf -layout-color map-fg 50 -layout-scale 1 500

By default - map-fg is white, therefore walls are not visible when
exporting
data just from centerline.

If you have some scraps already drawn in your data, you need to create
and
select centerline map before this export. It can be done within your
configuration file. Example:

source
map centerline-map
  my-survey
endmap
endsource

select centerline-map
export map.pdf -layout-color map-fg 50 -layout-scale 1 500


... where my-survey is the name of top-level survey. If it will not work
for
you, just send me some somple data where it does not work and I can have
a
look.

Regards, S.
