Converting SVG cave maps to Therion th2 format (by Jürgen Bohnert) Update: Check the Inkscape Export Plugin, it's an improved and simple to use version of the converter script. Therion comes in very handy due to the fact that it produces dynamic maps and supports a bunch of 2D and 3D formats, especially GIS formats like ArcView. Also the generation of 3D maps from 2D maps is very striking. And it is Open Source software .... To me, given all these advantages, Therion is definitely the best ca…

Data Organisation I'm interested in the ways people organise their Therion datasets. Feel free to add your own templates or add your own page to explain your own approach to organising your cave survey data, or how mine can be improved. Therion works best if you take advantage of a number of other applications and utilities such as text editors, terrain modelling, electronic surveying and version control See also Windows OS and Therion

FAQ Thinking in Therion Surveys and Drawings How to enter centreline? The basic building block is the centreline command. If the cave is larger than a few meters it’s a good idea to split the data into more than one file and separate centreline data from map data.

Premises “Usually only computer programmers are able to learn therion.” “Xtherion is not an user interface, it is only advanced text editor with a funny history.” In the 1990s Martin Budaj and Stacho Mudrák done a lot of caving and cave surveying. Some computer programs existed which displayed survey shots and stations after loop closure and error elimination. These were a great help, especially for large and complicated cave systems. They used, as many use till now, the output of one of them…

This will give a short overview about how to create suitable input for Therion to get a nice 3D view in Loch. The text here is at the moment work in progress. Elevation Data There are two main freely available datasets of elevation data. The first one is the dataset from NASA that was gathered during the SRTM (Shuttle Radar Topology Mission). They provide world wide elevation data (only the poles are missing, but there are not that many caves) with 3 arcsec resolution (around 90m). Only for t…

Converting SVG cave maps to Therion th2 format This is supposed to be a supplement (or replacement) to the tutorial Converting SVG cave maps to Therion th2 format (by Jürgen Bohnert). A sophisticated Inkscape export plugin introduces more features and a yet simple usage. The old tutorial is still recommended for reading, but some of the workflow is obsolete (map flipping, python stuff and the like).

This page describes how to edit th2-files with Inkscape. File convertors from TH2 to SVG and vice versa act as Inkscape import/export plugins. Warning: This overwrites the previously published th2_output plugin! Make sure not to have old copies of th2_output.py or th2_output.inx in a different extensions directory (system/user).

Program Therion was originaly developed to generate map and atlas of big cave passages. Some point and area (sand, debris, rock) symbols used for big caves are too large for maps of small passages or the density of area symbols are not satisfactory. The simple guide how to solve this problem follows.
