[Therion] Change Size of Legensymbols and Text

[Bruce Mutton]

Thanks HenryOn  a slightly related topic, does any one know how to get Staton flag symbols, such as doline, sink, spring, entance, overhang to appear in the legend?Or at least the reason why they do not?

You need to add this to your th config.  Tweak the numbers to find what works for you.
 
Code metapost

   def draw_legend_box =
        %make the objects in the legend boxes bigger
        currentpicture := currentpicture scaled 7.0;
        clip currentpicture to unitsquare scaled 20u;
        drawoptions();
        pickup PenB;
        draw unitsquare scaled 20u ;
    enddef;
 
    %clear the background of the larger legend boxes   

    def clean_legend_box =
        unfill unitsquare scaled 20u;
    enddef;
   

    %change the value of inscale to fill the legend boxes
    def inscale =

        %xscaled legend_scale yscaled (0.618*legend_scale)
        xscaled legend_scale yscaled legend_scale
    enddef;
endcode
 
code tex-map
  \def\maplayout{
    \legendbox{75}{80}{NW}{
      \legendwidth 140 cm
      \legendtextsize={\size[54]}
      \hsize=\legendwidth
      \input th_legend
      }
  }
endcode #end of TeX code
 
You may also find this useful, from memory it was how I sorted the altitude legend box too.

This works for me for virtually all the symbols except for passage height which needs some additional thought. 

Enjoy!

Hi



I'm wondering if it's possible to change the size of the legendsymbols and it's text in a simple way.

Does anyone have an idea?



Within the layout passage in the th-config file I use a separate legendbox for just the legendsymbols:

...

\legendbox{10}{10}{SE}{\legendsymbols}

...

\legendsymbols is defined as follows:

code tex-map

\def\legendsymbols{

\hsize=\legendwidth

\formattedlegend

}



As the map is pretty big the legendsymbols are pretty small in comparision.

And there is a lot free space for much bigger legendsymbols.



cheers,

Torsten
