Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
authors' reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification follow.
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
parties under the terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
the scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
received the program in object code or executable form with such
an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
itself accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
parties remain in full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
the Program or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of

You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
when it starts in an interactive mode:

Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it

The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
Public License instead of this License.

* _v2.0 completely rewritten for Inkscape 1.0_
* _v1.1 for Inkscape 0.92_
Use-cases include:
* producing a plausible length estimate for a drawn-up survey;
* georeferencing a drawn-up survey (see below);
* generating a skeleton to hang data off in a resurvey project;
* giving 'armchair cavers' something useful to do.
A couple of example surveys (Inkscape traced drawings) are also included.
### Installation
Copy the files `svx_export.py` and `svx_export.inx` into your local
Inkscape extension folder (eg `$HOME/.config/inkscape/extensions/` on
unix, or `%APPDATA%\inkscape\extensions\` on Windows).
### Usage
Usually the drawing will be made by tracing over a scannned image of a
drawn-up survey. The following conventions are observed:
* all (poly)lines of a given color are converted to traverses in the survex file;
* a line of a second color determines the orientation (default S to N);
* a line of a third color sets the scale (eg from the scale bar);
Lines of any other color are ignored, as are other drawing objects.
The colors are set by color tabs in the dialog box.
The extension appears under Extensions → Export →
Export drawing to .svx file…
In the subsequent dialog box, under the Parameters tab:
* the directory and `.svx` file name should be set;
* specify at least:
+ the length of scalebar line (in m);
+ the bearing of orientation line (in degrees);
+ tolerance to equate stations (in m);
* optionally restrict conversion to a named layer [*].
[*] The orientation and scalebar lines are picked up irrespective of
the layer.
Traverses generated from (poly)lines are captured in separate `*begin`
and `*end` blocks in the survex file. The Inkscape path id is used for the
block name, so traverses can be matched up to paths in Inkscape. The
survey as a whole is wrapped in a top level `*begin` and `*end` block
with a name corresponding to the `.svx` file name following standard conventions.
Within each traverse, survey legs are generated in the format
`*data normal from to tape compass clino`
In this format:
* The `from` and `to` stations are generated automatically.
* The `tape` length is generated using the scale line as reference,
which will usually be traced over a scale bar in the survey. The true
length that the scale line represents is specified in the Parameters
tab in the export dialogue box.
* The `compass` bearing is generated using the orientation line as
reference, which for example will be traced over a North arrow in the survey
(in the direction S to N). If a North arrow is not used the true
bearing represented by the orientation line should of course be specified in the
Parameters tab in the export dialogue box.
* The `clino` reading is set to zero.
Survey stations that are closer than a given specification are assumed
to be the same and given as an `*equate` list at the start. The
tolerance to select these is usually small (eg 0.2m) and can be
adjusted in the Parameters tab in the export dialogue box. Stations
which feature in the `*equate` list are automatically exported out of
the underlying `*begin` and `*end` block by the appropriate `*export`
commands.
### Workflow
A typical workflow using Inkscape might be as follows:
* start a new Inkscape document;
* import (link or embed) a scanned survey as an image;
* optionally, lock the layer containing the image and create a new layer to work in;
* then do the following:
+ trace the scale bar in one color, making a note of the distance
this represents,
+ trace an orientation feature in a second color (eg a North arrow, from S to N),
+ trace the desired survey traverse lines in a third color,
+ adjust the positions of nodes which are supposed to represent the same
survey station until they are coincident (within the tolerance);
* optionally save the Inkscape file to preserve metadata;
* do Extensions → Export → Export drawing to .svx file… ;
* in the dialogue box that appears, in the Parameters tab:
+ choose a file name
+ fill in the length which corresponds to the traced scalebar;
+ if necessary adjust the bearing represented by the orientation line;
+ click on Apply.
A box should appear reporting that the `.svx` file has been generated
successfully. If the conversion encounters errors, they are similarly
reported. A succesfully generated `.svx` file is immediately ready
for processing by survex.
Notes:
1. If Survex complains with an error
'Survey not all connected to fixed stations', then it is most likely a
pair of supposedly coincident survey stations are not close enough
together. To diagnose this:
+ increase the tolerance until Survex no longer complains and the
`.svx` file processes properly;
+ open the `.svx` file in a text editor and examine the list of
`*equate` commands to see which stations were too far apart;
+ return to Inkscape and fix the problem.
2. It is suggested that magnetic N _not_ be corrected for using the
'bearing' setting in the Parameters tab. Instead one can add a
`*calibrate declination` line by hand to the top of the survex
file, where the angle is positive for declination W. The
[NOAA website](http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag-web/ "NOAA geomagnetic
calculators") can be consulted to obtain declination data for a given
location and year. Alternatively (better) the
declination can be corrected automatically using `*cs` commands and
a `*declination auto` command. The design choice to export legs as `tape` and
`compass` readings, rather than as cartesian changes in easting and
northing, was made precisely to accommodate this.
3. Depth information can be added by hand by editing the `.svx` file.
A convenient way to do this is to change the survey data type to
`*data cylpolar from to tape compass depthchange`. The final column
(which originally contained zero `clino` entries) can be edited to
reflect the depth change between survey stations, whilst preserving
the `tape` and `compass` entries which are presumably correct if taken
from a drawn-up survey in plan view.
4. A large survey can be dealt with by partitioning the
(poly)lines into different, named layers, keeping the same scale bar
and orientation line, but generating a different survex files for each
named layer. These survex files can be stitched together using a
master file as illustrated below. Some hand editing has to be done to
match up the corresponding stations in the different survey data
files and it may be necessary to export these stations through
the `*begin` and `*end` blocks in each file.
5. Path names in Inkscape can be set by Object → Object properties…
### Examples
")
The file `loneranger_cpcj6-2.svg` is a tracing of a survey of the Lone
Ranger series in Link Pot (Easegill) where the PNG image
(`loneranger_cpcj6-2.png`) – originally published in CPC Journal 6(2)
– is taken from [CaveMaps](http://cavemaps.org/ "CaveMaps home
page"). The scale line end-end distance is 30 m, so 'Length of
scale line (in m)' in the Parameters tab would be set
to 30.0.

Similarly, `farcountry_ulsaj89.svg` is a tracing of a survey of Far
Country in Gaping Gill where the PNG image (`farcountry_ulsaj89.png`)
– originally published in the ULSA '89 Journal – is likewise taken from
[CaveMaps](http://cavemaps.org/ "CaveMaps home page"). In this case
the scale line end-end distance is 200 ft, so the 'Length of scale
line (in m)' in the Parameters tab would be set to
60.96. To get an idea of the work involved here, the generated Survex
file contains 176 survey stations, joined by 180 legs, with a total
length of around 1.5km of passage: it took less than 30 mins of
drawing in Inkscape to do.
#### Multiple layers
The `loneranger.svg` tracing can also be used to illustrate the use of
named Inkscape layers to break a survey into smaller pieces. The
section from Matchbox aven to Tonto aven has been placed in a layer
named `matchbox`, and the remaining passage beyond Tonto aven in a
layer named `silverstream`. Thus the survex files `matchbox.svx` and
`silverstream.svx` can be generated by exporting _twice_, using the
option in the Parameters tab in the export dialogue to restrict
export to each of these named layers in turn, taking the `.svx` file names from
the selected layer name. These survex files can each be processed
to a `.3d` file individually, but to stitch them together we note that
Tonto aven is station 8 in `path4288` in `matchbox.svx`, and is also
station 0 in `path4290` in `silverstream.svx`. Hence the following
short survex file (here called `combined.svx`) will do the job:
```
; combined.svx
*include matchbox
*include silverstream
*equate matchbox.path4288.8 silverstream.path4290.0
```
As it stands this doesn't quite work because we have not yet exported
these stations from the underlying survex `*begin` and `*end` blocks.
This has to be done by hand: in `matchbox.svx`, add station 8 to the
list of stations exported from the `path4288` block and `*export
path4288.8` just below the top level `*begin matchbox` statement (both
are needed, as stations must be exported from each layer in turn).
Similar additions are required in `silverstream.svx`. Then one should
be able to process `combined.svx` to a `.3d` file.
### Georeferencing
Georeferencing refers to assigning a co-ordinate system to a map, in
this case for example to a scanned hard copy of a survey. The actual
steps require identifying so-called Ground Control Points (GCPs),
which are identifiable features on the map for which actual
co-ordinates are known. If the survey has a grid, or multiple
entrances, these can be used. Frequently though the survey may only
have one entrance, and just a scale bar and North arrow. In this case
one can use the survex export plugin to generate co-ordinates for
additional GCPs in the cave. To do this one can either trace over the
passages and export the survex file, or more simply trace a fake
centerline which simply connects the extra GCPs to the entrance.
Check the generated `.svx` file can be processed, and then add a
`*fix` command to fix the entrance GCP to the known co-ordinates.
Processing this file allows you
to extract the co-ordinates of the GCPs.

For example suppose one wanted to georeference the ULSA 1989 Mossdale
survey, which is included here as `mossdale_ulsaj89.png`. The
original of this was downloaded from [CaveMaps](http://cavemaps.org/
"CaveMaps home page"). This version has some material cropped out and
has been reduced to a binary (2-colour) image. The image is imported
into inkscape and the scale bar (500ft = 152.4m) and North arrow
traced (conveniently, the survey uses true North, so magnetic
declination need not be corrected). To georeference, the simplest
approach is to add a single line connecting the entrance to a distant
identifiable feature in the cave, for example the small chamber shown
at the end of the Stream End Cave passage. This line will be exported
as the survex centerline and the two stations will be our GCPs. The
resulting inkscape drawing is included here as `mossdale_ulsaj89.svg`.
The exported survex file, modified as described below, is
`mossdale_ulsaj89.svx`.
We now need to establish the co-ordinates of the entrance, as the
first GCP. To do this one can of course make a site visit with a GPS,
or perhaps more conveniently make a virtual site visit using
[MagicMap](http://www.magic.gov.uk/magicmap.aspx "Magic Map") website
and use the 'Where am I?' option to find the entrance is at `(E, N) =
(401667, 469779)`. This is the full 12-figure National Grid Reference (NGR) in the
OSGB36 co-ordinate reference system. The 6-figure NGR SE 016697 given
on the survey is correct of course, but as it locates the entrance
only to within a 100m square it's not really accurate enough.
We add these entrance co-ordinates to the survex file together with a
pair of convenience `*cs` commands to georeference the `.svx` file. I
choose here to specify the entrance using the 10-figure NGR in the SE
square of the British National Grid (BNG), and specify the output to
be in the `EPSG:7405` co-ordinate reference system (CRS) which stands
for the BNG plus the ODN (Ordnance Datum Newlyn) height. This may
seem overkill but it gets the CRS meta-data into the `.3d` file in a
form suitable for onward processing.
Thus the file (`mossdale_ulsaj89.svx`) contains
```
*cs OSGB:SE
*cs out EPSG:7405
*begin mossdale_ulsaj89
*fix entrance 01667 69779 425
*entrance entrance
*equate entrance path4342.0
*data normal from to tape compass clino
*begin path4342
*export 0
0 1 1383.460 112.7 0
*end path4342
*end mossdale_ulsaj89
```
I have adopted the convention of exporting
the entrance (station `0` in `path4342`) out to the top level, and
equating it to a new station named `entrance`. Also the altitude
(1400ft = 425m) has been added, although irrelevant for present purposes.
On processing by `cavern` and `3dtopos` the result
is
```

(saved as `mossdale_ulsaj89.pos`). The two entries give the
co-ordinates of the GCPs in the `EPSG:7405` CRS and we can now
proceed to georeference the image file, using for example [QGIS](http://www.qgis.org/ "QGIS website").
The final result, here provided
as `mossdale_ulsaj89.tiff` in [GeoTIFF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeoTIFF "GeoTIFF on Wikipedia") format, can be
directly imported into a GIS platform such as [QGIS](http://www.qgis.org/ "QGIS website"), and superimposed on Google
satellite imagery, or the Environment Agency LIDAR data, for example.
Since it is also georeferenced (by the `*cs` commands) the survex
centreline data can also be imported into QGIS using
a [QGIS plugin](https://github.com/patrickbwarren/qgis-survex-import) or a
[QGIS3 plugin](https://github.com/patrickbwarren/qgis3-survex-import).
The combined result, superimposed on an [Open Street Map](https://www.openstreetmap.org/) background, is here:
