Thanks Bill. Marco has clarified that "point:photo" in Topodroid is not complete. So, essentially, I shouldn't be using it. Event if it were complete, Therion is not programmed to handle it. As you suggest, in Therion it is simply placing a symbol, in this case a symbol that looks like a camera.
After what you say about placing photos being a pain, I'm now leaning toward putting the camera symbol on the map with a reference number associated with it and providing the images in separate lookup table somewhere. That probably serves my purpose just as well.

I'll persevere with it to get it going eventually. What I'd like to do is automatically process the photo point type directly to insert the image at the point on the map without having to manually insert the photo image. As part of the solution I'm also hoping to stop Therion erroring when it sees the photo point type that Topodroid has inserted into the file.

In Topodroid the point is associated with a photograph in .jpg format. The export .th2 file shows a line like this : point 258.69 97.28 photo -text "a photo" -photo 1.jpg I'm trying to get a photo image to appear on the map at that point. Therion doesn't like the -text or the -photo parameters. The Therion book doesn't say a lot about it and doesn't include those parameters or any others relating specifically to the photo point type. Is there any way to use the point data from Topodroid to actually place the image on the map. It looks like it can't be done natively so maybe some Metapost code that will interpret the data and write the image? I don't know Metapost well enough to know if it can be done. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Nigel -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It is right up there with adding profiles, mainly because the same basic method is used. What I found is that photos and profiles have to be the VERY last things you put on a map. Otherwise - If the map changes at all, especially the size, then the placement of the photos and profiles is changed too. You cannot ever count on them remaining in the same place relative to the rest of the map - and relative to the legend. I think the current "point:photo" object is only to indicate that a photo was taken. As far as I can tell, it has no function for actually placing a photo. It would be nice to have more details in the Therion Book. On most of my maps I treat profiles like cross-sections. In a sense they are cross-sections viewed orthogonally to regular cross-sections. I also never use photos. It is just too much work to try and figure out how to place them. =============== Bill Gee On 5/11/24 08:15, Nigel via Therion wrote: > Hi Martin, > > The map-image command doesn't work for me for some reason.
