Therion 5.3.11 released



Therion is a complete package which processes survey data and generates maps or 3D models of caves.

A new version (5.3.11) has been released and is available here.

Therion solves the most annoying problem of cave cartography – how to keep a map of large and complicated cave system always up-to-date. 

Main features include:
Complete maps with all the detail. No additional ink stroke is needed.
  • Maps are dynamic, always up-to-date – i.e. they are automatically re-drawn after loop closure, blunder fix, scale or symbol set change
  • 3D models are created using 2D maps
It runs on wide variety of platforms: Linux, Windows, Mac OS X. It is completely free, released under the terms of GNU GPL, with source code available. It doesn't require any other commercial software to run.

The latest version includes following additions/bug fixes:



Therion:

Added:

  • survey option for map for setting survey associated with map.For example all surveying statistics from this survey will be used, when this map is selected for output.
  • added sketch-colors <number-of-colors> option to thconfig file,to reduce size of sketch bitmap images in maps
  • hide symbol from legend, if it has explicitly empty translation
  • survey-level works for point station-name labels, if station name is automatically determined (no -text is specified)
  • symbol-show|hide group text for point label, remark, date and line label
  • grid-angle <value> <units> - can be used in centerline to specify magnetic grid angle (declination against grid north).
  • -cs output specification works for export cave-list (including lat-long)
  • dates are shown using OS locale settings in map export
  • layout statistics explo/topo-length on/hide/off -- if it is off, team members are sorted alphabetically
  • KML export format supported for cave-list and continuation-list
Bugs fixed:
  • PLT export in output coordinate system
  • context point air-draught not working
  • instrument position in centerline does not work
  • debug scrap-names crashes if empty scraps
  • counter not working in centerline data diving
  • revise not working outside of survey context
  • wrong length/depth and other statistics calculation for map output
  • sketch bitmaps inserted multiple times in PDF files
Xtherion:
Bugs fixed:
  • new file in xtherion works, even if file is already open
