 Climbing one has center where the rope should go on the harness...
 The scale on the map and in the legend is matching just for 1:500...
+===Region names symbol===
+In the Hirlatz cave we use this symbol to tell the name of the adjacent (preview) maps.
+It is quite customizable and especially shows a way how to do label boxes.
+By default it prints the current surveys name in a white-filled box with rounded corners.
+You can adjust it per symbol by giving "-attr <var> <val>" options at the symbol in xtherion; see the code header for the available options.
+From Benedikt Hallinger for Therion 6.0.3

+    # Symbol to denote assigned survey.
+    #   Option "-attr text <string>" shows given text; otherwise current survey is shown.
+    #   Option "-attr bordersmooth <num>" overrides edge smoothness (0 for sharp edges)
+    #   Option "-attr bordermargin <num>" overrides margin text/border
+    #   Option "-attr basescale <num>" overrides basic text sizing factor (default text size)
+    #   Option "-attr fillsize <s_pct>" fills with page background color; s_pct is percent of bbox size

 Colors are in order R, G, B --- 0=0 1=255. Color (0.1, 0.2, 0.8) means (25 51 204) in Photoshop - quite dark blue. Light blue could be for example (123 213 255) in Photoshop - it is (123/255, 213/255, 255/255) or (0.48, 0.84 1.0) for Metapost.
