[Therion] Label Only the Grids You Choose

[Bruce Mutton]

This morning's bright idea was a way of labelling only selected grids (or
indeed any fixed point) in my finished plan view maps.  

 

I make a small dummy survey that contains fixed survey stations only at the
grid co-ordinates that I wish to label.  This is referenced in my
CaveINDEX.th file using the input statement.

 

Then a small scrap that contains the above roughly placed survey stations
and on top of these a point label for each of the x and y co-ordinate
labels. 

 

Advantages: 

Only get labels where you want them (a big advantage).

Can format them as you see fit.

 

Disadvantages:

A little bit labour intensive.

Subject to user error, as the co-ord text is manually input (maybe this is a
contender for a new therion object along the lines of the existing 'point
altitude' eg point x-coord and point y-co-ord)

Survex, if installed points out that you have some disconnected stations -
not really a problem.

The number of survey stations reported by Therion is a few too many.

 

The attached files illustrate.  Note that each apparently single point is
actually three points superposed on each other. Right-click each point to
see definition of the underlying point(s).

 

Enjoy

Bruce
