[Therion] Metapost exit code -- 2

Mon Jul 3 11:21:46 CEST 2017

The main problem is „overpointed“ lines with zillions of points - typical problem of TopoDroid.

In new version of Therion there is new command for lines - „simplify“. It should remove most of unnecessary points. When followed by command „Convert to curve“ you should receive smooth lines with only several points. Enough for good drawing and much, much, much faster.

Try another Android application - Qave.

>>> scrap outline intersects itself  - it is only warning

If not check the line number of endscrap command of that scrap. There is a button "Move to" just bellow  of window with th2 structure. Write there line number of endscrap, select missing objects on by one and press "Move to".
