[Therion] Scrap is too large to process in metapost in thisscale

Somehow I don't seem to have received the message with the archive file
attached, and I cannot find it in the forum archive (which is unusual).

I have noticed that on rare occasions I don't get a message posted to the
forum.  Someone's over enthusiastic spam filter I suppose.

Perhaps you could re-post or by personal mail?
Thanks
Bruce

Dear Bruce,

I'm using the .xvi compiled with the option -layout-sketches on. This
way, the .xvi file is not a simple vector drawing, with only the
centerline, but a more complex one, with also the scanned images
(which is a raster data) morphed to match the centerline (the vector
data). Indeed I cannot scale or rotate any of the two components of
the .xvi file (the vector, with the centerline, and the raster, with
the scanned images) inside Xtherion. But I keep separate scrap file,
one for morphing the scanned image, and one for drawing over the
morphed image. This way I can modify anytime the first scrap, e.g. by
adding more station points to get a better morphed image, I recompile
and I get an .xvi which will be updated in every scrap that I'm using
to draw the cave.

I sent an archive with my data to the list on a previous message. You
can look at and compile first the thconfig_xvi, than thconfig_pdf.
