[Therion] Showing qestion mark texts broken?

[Bruce Mutton]

This is what I use.  Slightly different to your example.

Code in my standard layout...

#CODE TO DISPLAY CONTINUATIONS (LEADS)
#------------------------------------
layout LayoutShowContinuationQmarkOnly
  #Show question marks only where continuations 
  #are flagged in survey or scrap
  
  symbol-show point flag:continuation
 
endlayout LayoutShowContinuationQmarkOnly

layout LayoutShowContinuationFullText
  #Show full text highlighted in pink where continuations
  # are flagged in survey or scrap
  
  code metapost
    def p_continuation(expr pos,theta,sc,al) =
      % draw default continuation symbol ie ?
      p_continuation_UIS(pos,theta,sc,al);
      % if text attribute is set
      if known(ATTR__text) and picture(ATTR__text):
      % set labeling color to light orange
      push_label_fill_color(1.0, 0.9, 0.8);
      % draw filled label with text next to symbol ?
      p_label.urt(ATTR__text,(.5u,-.25u) transformed T,0.0,8);
      % restore original labeling color
      pop_label_fill_color;
      fi;
    enddef;
  endcode
  symbol-show point flag:continuation
  
  
endlayout LayoutShowContinuationFullText


Code in my layout called from export statement.

#INVOKE LAYOUTS from INPUT files  
  #-------------------------------
  #select NEITHER or ONE of the following, NOT both
  copy LayoutShowContinuationFullText
   # copy LayoutShowContinuationQmarkOnly

Subject: [Therion] Showing qestion mark texts broken?

Hi,
i try to add a layout for showing the question mark texts.
For this i tried the additions from the websites:
a) https://therion.speleo.sk/samples.doc/60.html
b) http://marcocorvi.altervista.org/caving/tbe/m_05/m_054.htm
but neither seems to work. a) produces no change and b) triggers a compile error :(


This is a) implemented in my layout.conf (taken from the web)
---------------------------
layout showContinationText.inc
code metapost
     def p_continuation(expr pos,theta,sc,al) =

       % draw question mark above station:
       % rotation=0, scaling=1, offset=(0,2)
       %
       p_continuation_UIS(pos, 0.0, 1.0, (0, 2) );

       % if text attribute is set
       if known ATTR_text:
         % set labeling color to red
         push_label_fill_color(1.0, 0.0, 0.0);

         % draw filled label with text below station
         p_label.bot(ATTR__text, pos shifted (0,-0.5u), 0.0, 8);

         % restore original labeling color
         pop_label_fill_color;
       fi;
     enddef;
   endcode
endlayout
--------------------

and my thconfig export command includes this: "-layout 
showContinationText.inc", which in other cases is enough to activate it. 
The layout file is also loaded, i checked that.
However, no text is shown...

What am i doing wrong?


With best regards and happy christmas!
