<P class=MsoNormal><FONT size=2 face=Arial><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 10pt" lang=EN-NZ>I think you just added
a wiki item on Fuchslabyrinth caves where it says Therions bitmap morphing
feature is being used.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT size=2 face=Arial><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 10pt" lang=EN-NZ>I am intrigued because
in 2008 or 2009 we were starting to use this feature, then we were delayed,
and by the time we got back to experimenting there was a bug in the next
version of Therion whereby the sketches were inserted into the pdf outputs
multiple times, taking inordinate time to compile and making the pdf files
very large, 100’s of megabytes in many cases. Stacho acknowledged the
bug and I think some change was made in 5.3.9, but it did not fix the problem
for us.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

a couple of different files using 5.3.10, in one trivial case a 283kB sketch
inserted in a small map produced an 11MB pdf file (the pdf without the sketch
is 300kB).<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
