[Therion] Metapost exit code -- 2

[Martin Sluka]

There is a problem with maximum size of one scrap. Because Metapost creates vector images of scrap after scrap which are than connected together and exported to TeX and PDF. The maximum for one image for metapost is app. 5 m. 

So the solution could be to create smaller scraps or change the scale.
