Re: [Therion] Question/Problem with customizing text labels

[Footleg via Therion]

An alternative to setting smaller text size codes to 0 (to hide xs labels)
is to put the labels in a different scrap to the drawing. I have done this
with some success where I wanted more detailed text in large scale maps. I
still draw it all in the editor on one th2 file, but just move the labels
into a separate scrap. Then I can decide when I define my maps which ones
to include the labels in. This works well where some maps use offsets too,
as I can include labels in the white space per map depending on where the
white space on the survey appears based on different use of offsets on each
map.

Re: [Therion] Question/Problem with customizing text labels

[Владимир Георгиев via Therion]

There is also a "min-symbol-scale" option in layout, which hides smaller
symbols. It might work similar to what you are doing in the font_setup
metapost.
You can hide the smallest items, not the largest ones, but hiding the
larger ones is not that useful anyway.

Re: [Therion] Question/Problem with customizing text labels

[Henry.Bennett--- via Therion]

Hi Vladimir,

“-scale” sounds interesting.  One of the things I like about s,m,l,xl, etc was 
the ability in metapost to set xs to zero (0).

Consider a system where you have a full size survey of a single cave.  I can 
draw that cave with full detail using xs set to a x font size. When that cave 
intercepts the cave master I can simply draw the system by suppressing some of 
the detail by using

  code metapost
#change the size of the default fonts
#fonts_setup();
fonts_setup(0,18,40,64,80);
  endcode

I will take a look at –scale and see how that works in such a case.

There was a "scale" option that already existed, but was not enabled, so he

After a talk with Stacho, he thought that it would be better not to
increase the list of sizes. They are restrictive, in a sense that you have

There was a "scale" option that already existed, but was not enabled, so he
enabled it.

I don't know way, but this symbol is not in any .mp files in mpost directory so 
it is managed somewhere inside of Therion itself. I'll ask Martin Budaj what is 
the reason and what to do.

Hi all
I have a question concerning customizing text labels.
Drawing a map with scale 1:250 is ok. Just some points a very small on the map.
Therefore I would like to resize these points and make them bigger.
For example:
"point x y passage-height -value [- 10 m]" generates the wanted symbol, a 
number with a frame around. But it's to small (attached picture passage-height-1.jpg).
I add the option "-scale xl". Now it's a little bit bigger but still to small 
(attached picture passage-height-2.jpg).
Finally I use within the layout command:
code metapost
fonts_setup(6,8,10,14,36);
endcode
Now the number is looking good in size but the frame around is not correct 
anymore (attached picture passage-height-3.jpg).
Is there a solution for this problem?
Or is there any other option to resize single points or lines (like "point passage-heigt" 
or "line label" ...)?
I'm looking forward for any help.
Thanks,
Torsten

can check out the beta version here

A few weeks ago I added three more large symbol sizes. E.g. 2XL, 3XL and

Re: [Therion] Question/Problem with customizing text labels

Hi

I played around with base-scale option and this "suprise" is working pretty 
good. For most of my cave symbols.
But I figured out that it's the same problem with passage-heigt symbols. So may 
be there is a bug in this symbol!?

When I use
scale 1 250
base-scale 1 1000
I get the same "error" than before. The Frame is not all around the number (see 
attached picture).
There is no scale option anymore for this passage-height point. So it's up to 
default scale.

Am I the only one with this behavior or can someone else confirm it?
Is there any workaround for this?

regards,

Hi Martin

There is no stupid question but only stupid answers. ;-)

Thanks for that advice. I never used base-scale so far.
But this is doing want I wanted to achieve and I don't need fonts_setup for 
that...

Torsten

Re: [Therion] Question/Problem with customizing text labels

Maybe stupid question, but have you checked scale and base-scale in layout?

[Therion] Question/Problem with customizing text labels

[Torsten Schnitter via Therion]

Hi all

I have a question concerning customizing text labels.
Drawing a map with scale 1:250 is ok. Just some points a very small on the map.
Therefore I would like to resize these points and make them bigger.

For example:
"point x y passage-height -value [- 10 m]" generates the wanted symbol, a 
number with a frame around. But it's to small (attached picture 
passage-height-1.jpg).
I add the option "-scale xl". Now it's a little bit bigger but still to small 
(attached picture passage-height-2.jpg).

Finally I use within the layout command:
code metapost
fonts_setup(6,8,10,14,36);
endcode

Now the number is looking good in size but the frame around is not correct 
anymore (attached picture passage-height-3.jpg).

Is there a solution for this problem?
Or is there any other option to resize single points or lines (like "point 
passage-heigt" or "line label" ...)?
I'm looking forward for any help.

Thanks,
Torsten
