[Therion] Really bad idea?

[Jonny Prouty]

Hello Marco,

The 'map-fg' layout command instructs therion to color scraps based on the
(I believe) average value of station altitudes in a given scrap. A scrap
will have one color, but neighboring scraps will differ if their average
altitude differs. Perhaps this functionality will suit your needs.

Best regards,

Jonny
