Thanx a lot, I hope I'll have a piece of time next weekend, I'll try to go thrue it. > I've now understood the therion syntax and data structures in basic form > and have converted a survex centreline dataset to Therion (which now > processes without error with therion), but I am completely unable to use > xtherion to do any drawing or create th2 files. > > I need some clues about how to start. > > If I go to 'map editor' and click file->new I get 'Error unknown option > -state' - not sure how serious this is. You have an 'old' version of tcl/tk ;-), in fact it is not serios - if you will remove it, it will work without any change. But I think, that update of Tcl/Tk is not so complicated. OK, probably I should remove this -state option, because usually people have version 3.2, and I'm working on 4. I'll see... > But how do I draw some lines round my survey?

In fact, xtherion was an experiment - we just wanted to see, whether Tcl/Tk is able to operate 2D editor. When we've recognized, that it is usable - we've moved again back to therion developement. So xtherion map editor is a very minimalistic GUI - a lot of things are now left on operator and we do not plan to change this state in the near future. But writing a simple manual should be a question of one evening, so I should think about it... We will discuss next steps hopefully today, I'll let you know... Stacho
