You may use join command to join line to line or line to point. So if the beginning of a particular passage is between two blocks you may join walls of passage to points of rock-borders. After the morphing the beginning of passage will be still connected to blocks. | You may use join command to join line to line or line to point.

+ | The lines (just like maps, scraps, points and stations) are referenced by their ID directly inside their survey - inside a subsurvey, this would be as id@subsurvey (or id@subsurvey.subsurvey for nested subsurveys) - so make sure you have assigned an ID to each line that needs to be joined using the join command. | ||

+ | ====How to make map outputs match ISO paper size proportions==== | ||
+ | from Chris Hayes | ||
+ | |||
+ | ISO paper sizes have an edge length ratio, H:W, of √2:1, or vise versa. However when exporting maps to pdf, Therion makes the pdf exactly match the bounds of the cave, plus any images or legend elements that we might include with the layout. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | If we want our exported map output to scale nicely to print to a standard paper size (e.g. A4, A3, A1) then we need to cunningly include a map-header and or a map-image element to nudge the size of the pdf ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | * Compile a map with '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | * For portrait outputs; | ||
+ | * For landscape outputs; add / remove '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | # Example for a portrait output, with modified y positions | ||
+ | map-header 0 109.79986718266315 nw # | ||
+ | map-image 100 -9.79986718266315 se Club_Logo.png #place an image such as club logo in bottom right corner | ||
+ | |||
+ | The output will probably not match an ISO paper size that you have in your printer, but it will be of the correct proportion to be scaled to fit thatISO paper size. | ||

+ | ==== Hiding particular symbols from legend ==== | ||
+ | Sometimes you might want to hide just one particular symbol from the legend. \\ | ||
+ | This is as simple as setting the legend text for the symbol to an empty string, "" | ||
+ | This is done within the thconfig file. | ||
+ | eg | ||
+ | text en "line border: | ||
+ | text en "line border: | ||
+ | text en "line border: | ||
+ | | ||
+ | With this example, none of these borders will appear in the legend, even if these lines are used in the drawing. | ||
