[Therion] Extended elevation of a vertical cave

[Xavier Pennec]

Barbare,

I've got that scalebar definition to put in your layout. If you exchange 
the x and y coordinates, this should give something interestingly 
vertical. However, the main problem will be that you have to redefine 
the whole legend environment in tex to make it vertical scalebar-friendly...

I can try to look at that this week-end when I finish the maps and 
report from St Laurent

  def s_scalebar (expr l, units, txt) =
   begingroup
     interim warningcheck:=0;
     tmpl:=l / Scale * cm * units / 2;
   endgroup;
   pickup PenC;
   draw (-tmpl,0)--(tmpl,0);
   draw (-tmpl,0)--(-tmpl,4bp);
   draw (tmpl,0)--(tmpl,4bp);
   draw (-tmpl,4bp)--(tmpl,4bp);
   fill (0,4bp)--(tmpl,4bp)--(tmpl,0)--(0,0)--cycle;
   fill 
(-4/5*tmpl,4bp)--(-3/5*tmpl,4bp)--(-3/5*tmpl,0)--(-4/5*tmpl,0)--cycle;
   fill 
(-2/5*tmpl,4bp)--(-1/5*tmpl,4bp)--(-1/5*tmpl,0)--(-2/5*tmpl,0)--cycle;
   begingroup
     interim labeloffset:=2bp;
     label.top(thTEX("0" & "\thinspace" & txt), (-tmpl,6bp));
     label.top(thTEX(decimal (l) & "\thinspace" & txt), (tmpl,6bp));
   endgroup
enddef;
