[Therion] Page Size

[Markus Boldt]

Dear Bruce, 

thank you very much for your detailed explanations. 

After your explanations I resume for me, I modify the size of the ready map
in or with the program which I use for making my publication. That I have
also done in the past. I have thought there could/must be a possibility
directly in Therion. What a shame..

Hi Markus

Yes, but with limitations.

If you export map -f pdf, then you can indirectly influence the page size by
adjusting the scale and where you place the header.  Not as precise as you
are wanting.

If you export atlas -f pdf, then you can precisely specify the page size, as
you have been attempting.  The cave is then distributed across as many pages
as is required.  Disadvantages are that you cannot place headers and other
objects on the pages.

 

Have a look https://therion.speleo.sk/wiki/bds where there is some
information.

 

"A map output (not to be confused with a map object) is contained on a
single 'page' and the size of the page is automatically made big enough to
fit the cave by the software. A number of formats are supported but pdf
seems to be the most comprehensive. Pdf maps can include graphics such as
photos, logos, other pdf files or previously created cave maps.

An atlas output cuts the cave up to fit a user defined 'paper size' and adds
a navigation pane. Hyperlinks in the navigation pane and at the page edges
facilitate rapid navigation. If multiple maps are selected in the thconfig
file, then chapters are automatically created separating the maps. These may
be different caves or different levels in the cave - with hyperlinks to
navigate between different levels. Only pdf format is supported. Inserted
graphic images are NOT supported."

Also https://therion.speleo.sk/wiki/templates#atlas_specific which contains
some useful atlas paper size layouts.

Hello, 

how is it possible to "say" Therion to make a PDF-File with for example a
Size of DIN A4 (21 x 29,7 cm)? 

I have tried 

Page-setup 21 29.7 20 29 0.1 0.1 cm 

it doesn`t work 

I have tried 

Size 21 29.7 cm 

It doesn`t, too 

The command is ignored.

Greetings 

Markus
