| VI. Final Morph.
In the final morph,
we adjust the whole combined sketch-map so all the stations on the
sketch match those in the line plot. Since we have already done a
preliminary morph, the final adjustments will be relatively small.
A. Morphing The
Combined Image. The process of doing the final
morph is identical to the preliminary morph except that you are working
with the combined sketch and all the shots for the whole survey. Just
follow the steps in Step III. In this
case, you will be working with many more stations and you may be able to
enable whole surveys at once instead of just a few shots.
The image below shows the final morph of a portion of the
Fulford B-survey. You can see by the residual grid lines how each
individual image has been morphed to make it align with the survey
shots. |
| B. Final
Steps. When you have completed the final morph
you should clean up the extraneous
lines, marks, and any details that you won't need for tracing. You can
do this using the Edit Tools
described in step III. F. Once you
are satisfied with the combined image, exit the Morph Tool by hitting
the OK button and then save the image using the "Save" button.
C. Tracing and Printing.
If you are tracing the image in a digital
editor such as Inkscape or Illustrator, you would now load the image
into that program. If you are hand-drawing your cave map, you can print
the combined image to paper or a transparency and work from that. At
this point, there are no print routines in the Compass sketch-map
Editor, but you can load the image into Microsoft Paint (or other bitmap
editor) and use it to print the image. I may add print capability later
on. |
