It's the scrap faketerikan_s15, which contains two survey stations (used for calibration?) really far from the passage. --- How to find where the problem is: * therion log window displays metapost's progress, it displays [33] just before the error; that means that picture number 33 has been sucessfuly processed and the error is in the next one * run therion in the -d (debug) mode * go to thTMPDIR * open the file data.mp and find picture 34 (it starts "beginfig(34);" ;-) * find the "current_scrap" assignment preceding the picture * it's "faketerikan_s15 at terikan.dummy" It's really not straightforward but it's hard to make a better link between metapost and therion when an error occurs. In this particular case it's enough for therion to check the size of scraps and give a reasonable error message -- hopefully Stacho will do it. Martin
