[Therion] Fixed corner co-ordinates on a map

I would just define two stations at extreme diagonal corners of the area you
want.  Give them fixed co-ordinates and you are done.

Give them their own survey.th, .th2 file, map definition and you're done.

You could use KML export which can be loaded directly into google earth.

If you need to use bitmap output, PDF maps contain georeferencing
information (for nine points) as a comment. XTherion can use it to
produce PNG image + MAP Ozi explorer-like calibration file (Help ->
Calibrate bitmap). If your software doesn't load MAP files directly,
you would need to write some simple conversion script.

[Therion] Fixed corner co-ordinates on a map

Hi all

I am looking to try and generate an output which will always have the 
same co-ordinates.

I am try to do this as we have a rapidly expanding cave system which we 
would like to plot on google earth (or the likes) using Bill Chadwicks 
map of the Mendips

http://www.bdcc.co.uk/mendip.html

Now after consulting with Bill it appears if we predifine the size of 
the plot the crunching, just becomes computer power, so we can update 
then map as data comes in, full instructions are at

http://www.bdcc.co.uk/GoogleCrunch/Crunch.htm

Any hints welcome, one idea I have had is to use a 'blank' bit map as a 
surface, does it always displace the whole surface? This is something 
that I am having dificulty understanding the instructions for

thanks

Andrew

PS as soon as we fix the corners we will go back to the old fashiones 
paper problem of going off the sides
