💖 NAME 💖

XTherion — the graphical drawing editor for Therion, bestie ✨ Like, it's the glow-up version of staring at text files all day.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

xtherion [FILE...]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so this manual page is all about XTherion, which is part of the therion package, and no cap it's kind of a big deal 💅

XTherion is an app that's basically the graphical front end for Therion. The thing is, Therion itself works entirely with text-based files — very demure, very minimalist — but like, a whole lot of the data needs to be generated graphically, so XTherion is one example of how it might be done. It's written in Tcl/Tk, iykyk 👑

So what does it actually do? XTherion lets you:

  1. load a background image (a scan of the cave segment, or your to-scale notes — iconic source material fr),
  2. scale it,
  3. draw Therion 'scraps' over the image,
  4. relate it to survey stations,
  5. and save the resulting data. Periodt. 💾✨

Image formats GIF, PNM and PPM are supported by default 🫶, plus PNG and JPEG if the libtk-img package is installed. So yes, go install it, it's giving range.

For full information see the Therion Book at /usr/share/doc/therion-doc/thbook.pdf — it describes the application and its use in detail. Like, the whole lore. 📖💜

✨ OPTIONS ✨

XTherion optionally takes a list of files to open. The vibes:

  • FILE... — a list of .th, .th2, thconfig or thcfg files to open. That's it, that's the whole menu, and honestly? Slay. 🎀

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

Go read those too, bestie, they're lowkey essential 🌈
