Hi Stacho - Wow! Many thanks! This is awsome!
I won't have a chance to actually try it until JM Begley gets this version compiled and into his RPM repository. Compiling Therion from source has never worked completely right for me, so I gave it up when the repository became available. This morning I see that a few other people have tried it. The sample maps they included show exactly what I was looking for. Based on that I am confident it will work for me when I get a new version. For what it's worth - I added the MetaPost segment to my files and recompiled the map. It did not produce any errors, though of course it also did not produce a boxed number. I am currently on version 5.4.1, April 2017, running on 64-bit Fedora 28. -- Bill Gee On Monday, October 1, 2018 3:08:10 PM CDT Stacho Mudrak via Therion wrote: > Hi Bill, > > we have rearranged therion metapost code in latest commits and now (using > last devel build) it should be possible to have boxed height labels just by > using following code in your layout: > > code metapost > p_label_mode_height:=6; > endcode > > The magic number 6 stands for boxed label.
