You can specify in therion.ini with:

loop-closure therion

or:

loop-closure survex

"By default, survex is used if present, otherwise therion."

While I'm probably biased, the fact that the default is to use survex if
it's installed indicates that therion's authors think it's the better
choice.

There's also a third way (which is what I do), which is have your data
in .svx format, and just point therion at an already-processed .3d
file with "import example.3d":

Thanks wookey, is it better to install survex and using survex loop closure 
algorithm or not?

If survex is installed therion uses the survex loop closure
algorithm. If not it uses its own which is somewhat less sophisticated.

The survex process is mostly documented here (in some very old docs,
but nothing much has changed in the core algorithm):
http://csg.bcra.org.uk/surveynotes.html More details on how instument
standard deviations are specified and used is given in the survex manual.

Not sure if the therion algorithm is documented in detail.

Installing or not-installing survex switches the algorithm. Not sure
if there is a way of forcing one or the other algorithm without doing that..

Installing or not-installing survex switches the algorithm. Not sure
if there is a way of forcing one or the other algorithm without doing that..

[Therion] Loop closure algorithms

Hi, what is loop closure algorithm(s) used in therion core?Can some body 
explain an algorithm for me?If these are more than one algorithms used in 
therion, how can i choose and change default loop closure algorithm?Thanks, 
Saeid.
