[Therion] Marked stations

[Bruce]

Thanks Stacho

This is a useful post, and (assuming it is correct) deserves to be written
up clearly in the Therion Book and wiki.

It potentially clears up problems for which I (and others on the forum) have
been searching for a solution for years.

I may now revisit some of those old projects when I have time.

As Marco already mentioned, it can be done after playing a little bit with
symbol show/hide.

 

Well, I needed to run therion in debugger to see, what is going on.





The problem is, that there are multiple "attributes" and therion does
support only hide show for single symbol type. Therefore, specification is
tricky. But in your case, this is what you can use:





symbol-hide group centerline symbol-show point cave-station symbol-show
point station:painted symbol-show point station:fixed





First line hides all centerline symbols from everywhere (stations and
shots).





Second tells therion, that you want to show stations in the cave. But in
fact - point cave-station itself does not show any symbol. It only
specifies, that stations in the cave should be shown.





Therefore 3. and 4. lines are needed to specify, that you want painted and
fixed stations to be shown.





In fact, if you use symbol-hide group centerline, and want to show some
station afterwards, you need to specify explicitely both, whether you want
to show stations in cave or on surface and which kind of stations you want
to show. You can use also symbol-show point station to show all kinds of
stations.





And now I am not sure, whether I understand my self ;)





But at least, this configuration seems to work on my data sample.





It would be great to have some kind of query language, show/hide/color
symbols...
