I still have a gap in my understanding of how atlas's are arranged.
My assumption from reading the Therion Book is that the origin and
origin-label commands are about how to position the tessellation of atlas
pages on the 2D cave image. (Sorry, have not downloaded the latest version
just yet)
My INDEX.th file contains;
centreline
cs EPSG:27200 #NZ Map Grid 1949
#Entrance co-ordinates
fix N2 at n 2500597 6023471 751 #NZMG GL entrance
endcentreline
and my layout file contains;
origin-label 2 A #label type <across>
<down> 2 A gives A1, 1 A gives A0, 0 A gives A-1
origin 2500600 6023000 600 meters #co-ords of lower left corner of first
atlas page
If I leave out the last line I get perfect atlas's (and all other outputs
for that matter) - just not a very efficient use of 'paper'.
If I include the last line I get;
D:\Program Files\Therion\therion.exe: error -- mixing local and global
coordinate systems not allowed -- conflict with cs specification at
LayoutPlanThisAtlas.thc [11]
The origin co-ordinate given is just to the bottom left of the cave in the
projections I am using (plan, elevation 290 deg) so that when I have the
whole cave system drawn it will fit on a grid of A2 sized pages that is two
sheets high (rather than three)
I am using rotate 070 to orient the plan nicely on the paper.
(I think once I have this sorted out I will be able to use a more sensible
origin-label specification)
Is my understanding of the purpose of these two commands correct?
I have tried a number of spellings of 'meters' and leaving out the units to
no avail.
Any ideas?
