[Therion] Incorrectly Drawn Scraps

2009-11-16 Thread b...@caver.plus.com
Carl,
I don't know why it doesn't work, but it appears you have created a
program to produce walls based on the LRUD.  Nice idea!  But you can
achieve similar just be asking Therion to output the LRUD data in the
output map, which is much easier than what you are doing and great for
that initial visualisation of the survey data.  Therion also accurately
reflects the Left-Right values entered, so the cave walls follow the
centreline at the correct distances (eg where the centreline zigzigs from
left wall to right wall).
Regards,
- Ben Cooper

[Therion] outline only

2008-06-18 Thread b...@caver.plus.com
I have a similar requirement - to show maps at different levels of
magnification with different levels of detail.  I'm just working on an
idea as follows.  Within the th2 file, multiple scraps can be created.  I
based my .th2 files on xvi output files, the xvi provides the framework
for drawing on details in the right place.  I seem to be able to plot
details anywhere within the drawing area, and assign these to whichever
scrap exists in the th2 file.  So, I am experimenting with putting the
walls and high-level details (large labels, etc) in one scrap, but then
putting additional details that might only be visible at a lower
magnification within a different scrap.  The useful thing is that within
the xtherion, I can see all information overlaid on the drawing area, but
within the th2 file, the individual point and line commands are organised
within the two different scraps.  I can use then maps to select one or
both of the scraps depending on the output scale I want.

It even seems possible to edit the th2 file and manually move point and
line definitions from one scrap to the other!  This makes it much easier
to draw - as I don't necessarily need to worry which scrap is currently in
focus - I can change it later.

I'd be interested in hearing views on this approach.

[Therion] Team member who didn't do any survey

2008-05-30 Thread b...@caver.plus.com
Same way as for survey members.  Use the "team" command within the
Centreline context, perhaps with the "notes" or "pictures" role. From the
Book:-
team  [] . a survey team member. The 1st argument is his/her
name, the others describe the roles of the person in the team
(optional|currently not used). The following role keywords are supported:
station, length, tape, compass, bearing, clino, gradient, counter, depth,
station, position, notes, pictures, pics, instruments (insts), assistant
(dog).
