[Therion] Point with entrance coordinates

[Xavier Robert]

Hi Bruce,

No I didn’t set any custom variable, this is what I am looking for… (because I think that the info about the coordinates is an info that should be written on every maps and sections)… Tex variable would be great !

I just used the point label :
point X Y label -text "Lat : -6.129004<br>Long : -77.992132<br>Alt = 2884 m »
And for the ~vertical line, I added manually a line border with the option -clip off. I do not do that every time as it is a bit time-consumming to get a really nice result,…

About the header, yes, to simplify my thconfig files, I costumed a bit the initial header. If you are interested you can find my config file there (with some ugly or unfinished tests…) : https://github.com/robertxa/Th-Config-Xav

Cheers,
Xav

I don’t have a solution, but would like to encourage anyone who would like to make more metadata available to tex, so that people can add it to custom headers, maps or atlas’.  One similar thing that comes to mind is something Therion does not yet track as metadata, the locality or region that the cave is in.  I see in that recent Tragaero’ pdf Xavier has what I suspect might be a custom variable he sets in a layout (I’m guessing) and displays with a customisation of the standard header.  I might see if I can also do that, as there seems to be some interest locally.
