Hi Footleg Iâve been off line for a few daysâ¦.
Colour by map works just fine, as does colour by scrap or altitude. In the context of your question I thought you were trying to SPECIFY which colour a particular scrap (or map or altitude) would be assigned. I donât think this is yet a feature and the Therion Book text you extracted below tends to confirm that (maybe Iâm wrong), but if it were being considered, then âcolour by mapâ would be my priority, followed by altitude, then scrap.

I thought it was an option specified in the Therion book in this section: ⢠colo[u]r <item> <colour> â customize colour for special map items (map-fg, mapbg, preview-above, preview-below, label). Colour range is 0â100 for grayscale, [0â100 0â100 0â100] triplet for RGB colours. For map-fg, you can use altitude, scrap or map as colours. In this case the map is coloured according to altitude, scraps or maps. For map-bg, you can use transparent to omit page background completely. For labels, you can switch colour on/off. If on, labels are coloured using the colour of associated scrap. Footleg On Thu, Mar 10, 2016 at 6:21 PM Bruce Mutton <bruce at tomo.co.nz> wrote: I use colour by scrap quite often as a drawing aid. Random is fine for that. Colour by map would be the more useful to be able to specify for 'finished presentations'. Colour by map has been discussed and requested from time to time.

One of these is to colour scraps different colours. All I can find in the Therion Book is how to specify to colour map-fg by altitude or by scrap. If I do either of these then the colours are assigned automatically. I've searched my email history and seen that colour by altitude has been discussed before, but I can't work out if there is supposed to be a way to set the colour for a scrap? If this isn't currently possible, then if would be ideally implemented in the layout so that if is not coded into the drawings of the scraps themselves. Perhaps a syntax to let you specify as follows: colour <scrap name> <colour> Am I missing a way to do this in the existing release?
