 +If you want to add custom label styles, you need to call "thelabel.suffix(thetext,position)" with the right alignment suffix, save the return value in a variable called "lab", then call "process_label(position,rotation)". After that, you can check "bbox lab" to get the bounding box of the text label as a path which can be used to draw the decoration. You can temporarily ("interim") set the internal "bboxmargin" variable to make the bounding box larger than the text, to create some padding between the text and your ornamentation. You should use "begingroup+endroup" within a "def" when using the "interim" operator to make sure it gets reset correctly afterwards, or use a vardef instead of a def.
 +
 +Use "rotatedaround (position,rotation)" when drawing the ornamentation to make sure it gets rotated and aligned the same as the label. Note that this applies the rotation around the point position, so alignment and rotation at the same time is weird. This is the same with regular labels though - known Therion bug - so at least this is consistent with Therion itself.
 +
 +Since this will require setting the suffix correctly for both the regular label styles and the custom label styles, there ends up being a lot of duplicated code. It is easier to store the suffix name as a string which can then be extracted with scantokens when calling the appropriate macro, which is what the example code below does. The custom decorations are specified using a style number starting from 100, so as not to clash with the numbers used for Therion's internal label styles.

This is common with rigging topos, for example, where the plan uses a pit symbol, but the same same drop in the elevation view will normally be shown with a different symbol, such as a dashed line, to indicate that a traverse may be required along a ledge.

 It is possible to disable the anchors and rebelays by adding two options to a linepoint (not the line itself), and hoping that you never accidentally remove that particular linepoint. These options apply to the whole line rather than an individual linepoint, so you cannot fine control the use of rebelays and linepoints.

 +Rope lines default to using the standard colour (black, unless you change it with "symbol-color"). Optionally use it with the following -attr setting "value" options on the line:
 +
 +  * -attr type primary   = (default) use the default colour (black)
 +  * -attr type secondary = draws in grey
 +
 +This allows you to have ropes with two different colours, useful if ropes are optional or follow an uncommon optional route.

-Trees are often found in the entrances to caves, and sometimes a survey deserves to show the trees. This is particularly common with rigging topos for surface shafts, where a tree may be used as a rope belay, but it also may be in particularly large entrances which contain forests. A tree may be created as a single point symbol, but this then makes it difficult to scale the heights and widths perfectly, and even harder to attach other lines (like ropes or tethers) to the sides of them. It also means that when trying to draw a particularly distinctive tree which must be used as a belay, it is not possible to show it in a recognisable way.+Trees are often found in the entrances to caves, and sometimes a survey deserves to show the trees.

 This is therefore a pair of symbols. The first is for the sides of the tree trunk (which could also be used to create jagged shapes for conifers), and the second is for the bushy leaves at the top of a deciduous tree. The sides of the tree can therefore be curved or branched as needed, with linepoints added for attaching rope lines, the surface lines, and the bushy part of the tree to. For plans, the bushy part alone would normally work, as a closed, circular line. This is therefore a pair of symbols.

However, sometimes they are also used for rigging, and that is where they become important.

 +===Centreline that is only visible when not in a scrap===
 +
 +[[user:tarquinwj|Tarquin 2019]]
 +
 +Sometimes, you might want to show a centreline for a section of the cave where you do not have any wall data, if you are using [[tips#Showing centreline for parts of a cave, and passage walls for others|a map made up from surveys and other maps]]. However, you might not want to show the walls within your regular scraps where you have wall data, since they are distracting and meaningless for viewers. There is no setting for this, since "symbol-hide group centreline" affects all centrelines at once, so it must be done through MetaPost:
 +
 +<code>
 +code metapost
 +  def l_survey_cave_MY(expr P) =
 +    if ATTR__scrap_centerline:
 +      l_survey_cave_SKBB(P);
 +    fi;
 +  enddef;
 +  initsymbol("l_survey_cave_MY");
 +endcode
 +</code>
 +
 +You may notice the misleadingly named "ATTR__scrap_centerline", which does not mean "centreline within a scrap". Instead, it means "a virtual scrap automatically created, made up entirely of centreline", which is what Therion creates when you ask it to include survey data within a map.
 +
 +Use it with this line in your layout:
 +
 +  symbol-assign line survey:cave MY
 +
 +You can use a similar approach for l_survey_surface_MY (surface survey legs), p_station_temporary_MY, p_station_natural_MY, p_station_painted_MY and p_station_fixed_MY (survey stations) if you needed to show those outside too.
 +
 +===Break line===
 +
 +[[user:tarquinwj|Tarquin 2019]]
 +
 +When a section of are omitted or shortened, typically used with [[riggingtopos|rigging topos]], the common approach is to show a double line wherever the passage has been omitted. Usually, it is drawn at an angle of about 45 degrees. This can either be used on a single scrap with a double line over the passage to show that it is much longer than shown, or it is used to end the scrap, then a second double line is used to start the next scrap; this second version is normally used when the passage on either side of the break is of different dimensions.
 +
 +This code is an example of how to extend a line beyond the defined ends, using additional points. It also shows how to cope with the fact that (as of the time of writing) Therion does not offer a variable that allows you to read the "map-bg" colour. It also shows how to cope with Therion trying to recognise keywords inside "code metapost" sections.

 +
 +Select this as line type "u" with "-subtype break" in its options. You will also need to define it with "-clip off" in its options to allow the ends of the line to show up outside the walls. Typically, you will also need to use "-place top" in its options to allow it to be placed over the top of any walls, so that it can blank out the wall in between the double lines (either that or you need to ensure that it appears before any wall lines in its scrap, but this can make maintenance harder).
 +
 +Use it with this line in your layout:
 +
 +  text en "line u:break" "passage omitted/offset"
 +
 +By default, it will pick up the colour of the scrap background, to put between the double lines. However, it normally looks better with the map-bg colour between them. Unfortunately, Therion does not appear to expose this colour to MetaPost code (it is created in raw Tex). So you will need to do it manually. If you do not specify map-bg, it is white; "(1, 1, 1)" in MetaPost. If you have set it to a colour like "70", this is "(.7, .7, .7)" in MetaPost. If you have set it to a colour like "[70 35 50]", this is "(.7, .35, .5)" in MetaPost. The code will check for a variable called fill_l_u_break, and will try to use it as a fill colour if it exists.
 +
 +You cannot use "color fill_l_u_break;" in a "code metapost" section, because Therion will try to treat the keyword "color" as a Therion command instead of a MetaPost keyword. You can either write ";color fill_l_u_break;" with a leading semicolon which MetaPost will ignore, or use the synonym "rgbcolor fill_l_u_break;" which Metpost understands but Therion will not recognise.
 +
 +  code metapost
 +    rgbcolor fill_l_u_break;
 +    fill_l_u_break:=(1,1,1);
 +  endcode
 +
 +By default, the break line is set up for use along a horizontal passage. This follows the usual style used in the UK; two parallel lines, separated by a horizontal gap, with the tops and bottoms horizontally aligned (no matter whether the lines are drawn vertically or tilted at 45 degrees or more). If you are using it on a vertical section of cave, you can set the "-attr orientation vertical" option on the line. This will cause it to leave a vertical gap between the lines, and to align them horizontally compared with each other. This makes only a tiny difference when tilted at 45 degrees, but it looks better, and matches the normal style used in rigging topos.
