[Therion] Remove little text in global export & offseted map

[Bruce Mutton]

David, Tarquin

I think we discussed the map-connection offsets last year, without real resolution.

I couldn’t find them in the mail-archive just now, so I’ll send my posts again in the hope that they describe the problem and present results of some experimentation that defines somewhat the parameters of the problem.

Stand by.

Dear Tarquin

 

Thanks a lot for your answers

min-symbol-scale m  => works well eventhough as you mentionned wall disapearred ! fortunatly I have colored surfaces everywhere and except cross-over section that I will re-scale manually the rest is really correct!

 

I try to be more clear on my second topic, the problem is that the connection arrow between offsetted map sometimes skipped the N+1 map to be connected directly to the N+2 map:

 

Exemple:

1 - (level N+2) Global map: MAP 1 

 

2- (level N+1) offsetted network below from MAP1= MAP2

    => map connection point arrow of MAP2 goes from its shadow on MAP1 to MAP2  => ok

 

3-  (level N) offsetted network below from MAP2= MAP3

 

    2 cases:

 

    3.1 MAP3 is built by scrap   S1 S2 etc....

    => ok map connection point arrow goes from MAP3 to its shadow on MAP2 and then idem from MAP2 to MAP1 => clean

 

    3.2 MAP3 is built by other MAP (level N-1)

    => Ko map connection point arrow goes directly to shadows on MAP1 skipping its shadow on MAP2

   

I hope it is more clear, if not I'll send you tonight a better description with picture. the problem is that in case there are several map to offset the rendering at the end is unclear except if you keep all your rmap at the level 1 (ex level of MAP2) but in that case you can not follow easely the real path in your cave.

 

Not sure it is better :)

Yes, but also no:

https://therion.speleo.sk/wiki/templates#setup_a_default_standard_layout

 

layoutstandards.txt has some metapost code that can hide small text

labels. *BUT* the way it works is to physically measure the size of the

text label. So if - for example - you have something like this:

 

point 740.0 918.5 label -scale xl -text [foo<br>bar] -align left

 

The linebreak in there makes the rendered text block taller than one

line of text would be. The metapost code does not understand that, so it

assumes it must be a large text size, and it allows it to render.

 

(Yes, it would be possible to make the code check only the first text

character, but that is not as easy as you might think, since the first

character can be a linebreak, or formatting.)

 

You can also use this layout option:

min-symbol-scale M

but that affects all symbols at once, and you need to remember that all

lines have a default size, even if you did not explicitly set one!

 

Therion really, really needs to have a setting like this:

min-symbol-scale point label M

Sorry, I do not understand this question, could you perhaps explain in

more detail?

 

Cheers,

 

Tarquin
