It would be nice to have a way to break extended profiles into sections
so they can be placed at different points around the map.
Sure, easy enough. Create them as maps, just like you would do if you
wanted partial plans.
map shiningcave -projection extended -title "Shining Cave elevation"
entareaMEE@entarea
shiningpitchesMEE@shiningpitches
...
endmap
map beetlecave -projection extended -title "Beetle Cave elevation"
crayonsMEE@crayons
wetcrawlsMEE@wetcrawls
...
endmap
In your .thconfig, select whichever map you want to output. Output it as
a PDF. Embed it in your main plan view, just like you would embed any
other image.
which angle was specified for each section of profile.
Extended elevations have no angle. They are an *extended* side view.
Projected elevations have an angle - the cave from a specific direction.
With a projected elevation, you need to make sure you always export the
same bearing. It's awkward with big caves.
I think it could be done
with either a border or a section line with no arrows.
I created a l-u-route for showing routes. It draws dots along the route.
You could do something similar. If you just want to draw it as a solid
line, then the MetaPost can just pick up a pen, and draw the path with
it. (That's the easiest. Dots is a dashed line, but I have done a load
of calculations in the MetaPost to avoid drawing half a dot, so the code
is quite long.)
I would also like a way to produce a map which has SOME (not all)
cross-sections.
Put them in different scraps instead of putting them all in the main
plan scraps. Eg. "mainsectionsSP" and "lessersectionsSP". Each scrap you
put them in should reuse a few stations so they all get scaled and
positioned correctly.
Then your map should add the appropriate scrap just like it adds any
other scrap.
