[Therion] Extended elevation of a vertical cave

I quick reply before I'm off to work...

Ropes
I just use 'line border' for my ropes.
A better approach would be to define your own line type rope and assign it
an already defined linetype (like 'border').  [This is quite easy but I'd
have to look it up -obviously not so easy as I would have done it already! -
someone else may have it on the tip of their tongue]

This would allow you to change all the 'ropes' at some future time just by
adding the symbol definition - when you could find time to make a line rope
definition to your liking.


Scalebar
Unless someone has already written one, you could modify Thomas Holders code
from here

If you are brave enough for metapost that is.

Subject: [Therion] Extended elevation of a vertical cave

Hello,

I'm working on an extended elevation map of our last explorations in Picos
de Europa (Spain).
The cave is mainly vertical (~ -300m) with ... too many networks for my
liking. I'm using therion  5.3.6.

However, two issues are blocking me:
1) Drawings ropes: Is there a mean to draw ropes (a kind of rope line)? I've
just found rope points but not lines. Some emails on the list have
mentionned this issue but without a clear answer for me.

2) A vertical scalebar: The legend is pretty nice, but the scalebar is
horizontal. I was not able to fnd a way to draw a nice vertical scale bar on
the map. 

Many thanks if someone can help.
