[Therion] Setting -outline for pit lines

[Tarquin Wilton-Jones]

Hi all,

Feeling like a beginner here with a very simple question, but oh well...

"-outline out" is for outer walls
"-outline in" is for pillars in the middle of a passage

When a wall line is drawn in the wrong direction, you hit "reverse" to
make the little tick point inwards. Easy.

Until you hit this wording in the old tutorials:
"The "outline" option specifies on which side of a line there is the rock."

With a *pit* line that is being drawn with its tines facing outwards -
as in, the scrap ends at the top of a pitch - the little tick also
points outwards, in the opposite direction to most wall lines.

Therion doesn't seem to care whether you set "-outline" for that pit to
"out" or "in", the result is the same in most cases when creating PDF.
Except when creating a .lox file, where it will complain about the scrap
outline being invalid if you use "in".

So what is the correct value for -outline on a pit with the tines
pointing out, when the scrap outline should be the pit's line?

And if it is "-outline out", then why do we always draw walls with the
tick pointing inwards - surely if it is valid for a pit line to have the
tick pointing out and "-outline out", then it is also valid for wall
lines to be drawn that way too, so why don't we?

Cheers,
