[Therion] outline only

[ben at caver.plus.com]

I have a similar requirement - to show maps at different levels of
magnification with different levels of detail.  I'm just working on an
idea as follows.  Within the th2 file, multiple scraps can be created.  I
based my .th2 files on xvi output files, the xvi provides the framework
for drawing on details in the right place.  I seem to be able to plot
details anywhere within the drawing area, and assign these to whichever
scrap exists in the th2 file.  So, I am experimenting with putting the
walls and high-level details (large labels, etc) in one scrap, but then
putting additional details that might only be visible at a lower
magnification within a different scrap.  The useful thing is that within
the xtherion, I can see all information overlaid on the drawing area, but
within the th2 file, the individual point and line commands are organised
within the two different scraps.  I can use then maps to select one or
both of the scraps depending on the output scale I want.

It even seems possible to edit the th2 file and manually move point and
line definitions from one scrap to the other!  This makes it much easier
to draw - as I don't necessarily need to worry which scrap is currently in
focus - I can change it later.

I'd be interested in hearing views on this approach.
