Regarding the map-image: As far as I know, Therion will not produce a JPG file.
However ...
It is quite easy to turn a PDF into a JPG, especially on Linux. Once that is
done, then any decent photo editor can crop it. The legend will be a problem.
I suppose you could crop out two sections (the legend and the cave portion you
want) and paste them into a single image.
On Linux you need the ImageMagick package. Most distributions include it as a
base item. With that you use the "convert" command:
convert -density 300 -rotate 90 infile.pdf outfile.jpg
-density sets the dots-per-inch in the output file. -rotate rotates the image
90 degrees before saving.
Convert has hundreds of options Spend some time with the man page.
There is a Windows version of ImageMagick.
