[Therion] Symbols without map editor, polygon line filling?

[Martin Sluka]

Dear Christian,

any „beginner’s“ question to Therion’s mailing list is OK, because we are looking to try to solve as much as possible problems and ideas which cavers have about documentation of caves.

You may not use symbols without definition of scraps - small parts of maps. But you may define a scrap (several stations long only) and use only point symbols for stations and let’s say symbol for entrance. Then the other one scrap and the next scrap…

You should only define map then:

map polygon_only.map -projection plan
    scrap1
    scrap2
    scrap3
    …
endmap

in thconfig you just use „select“ command:

select polygon_only.map

m.s.
