Re: [Therion] thfill with page background colour?
> In which variable do i access the page's background color (the one set > wit the layout option "map-bg")? Fun fact ... you can't access that. Or at least, it didn't seem to be available back when I was trying to do that in version 5. And I still can't see any useful variable in version 6. "background" is the default background (white) in v5, but even that is absent in v6. I tested like this with identical input using the -d switch to get the data.mp: 1. color map-bg [100 100 0] # yellow 2. color map-bg [100 0 0] # red The data.mp debugging output was identical in both cases, so it is not putting the colour into a variable in that file. In places where I have needed this, my layout included a "code metapost" which set a global variable where I specified the background colour (written in metapost notation this time). The symbol code could then read my global variable. Messy solution. ___ Therion mailing list Therion@speleo.sk https://mailman.speleo.sk/listinfo/therion

Re: [Therion] Fwd: PDF output: layers nested?
Hi, no, i really have submaps in my example. mymap in my case is defined in my thconfig file, and it references a mainmap as submap. That submap again is a collection of other submaps, that finally contain scraps: - source map 164-Grundriss -title "Mappe 164: Wandaugenlabyrinth Ost" #preview above 172-Hauptplan@172.Wandaugenlabyrinth.Hirlatzhoehle preview above 162-Hauptplan@162.Wandaugenlabyrinth.Hirlatzhoehle preview above 180-Hauptplan@180.Wandaugenlabyrinth.Hirlatzhoehle preview above 170-Hauptplan@170.Wandaugenlabyrinth.Hirlatzhoehle preview above 171-Hauptplan@171.Wandaugenlabyrinth.Hirlatzhoehle 164-Hauptplan@164.Wandaugenlabyrinth.Hirlatzhoehle #<-- this contains several other maps, which finally contain scraps endmap endsource select 164-Grundriss -map-level 2 This works, but removes the previews (from 164-Grundriss) and also the offsets defined in 164-Hauptplan. I also tried "select 164-Grundriss -map-level basic" with the same result.

[Therion] thfill with page background colour?
Hi metapost wizards, I try to fill a label with the page background. thfill ((bbox lab)) scaled (sc * basescale * 1.5) withcolor ; For i tried "label_fill_color", which however may be a different background. I also tried "background", but that yields the cave passage background colour. In which variable do i access the page's background color (the one set wit the layout option "map-bg")? Thanks!

Yes, exactly, when i use "select" and fetch the maps that way, it generates layers as expected. However, in this instance i just have one big "map" element, but it would be nice if i could have the submaps also as distinct layers.
