Maps - any way to remove certain paths to a journey?

Jackie Watts

I am teaching on Saul's salvation this week (Acts 9). I want our people to see the significant length Saul went to persecute followers of Jesus as Damascus is a long way from Jerusalem. Here the pic of the map I am using.

I would like to remove the other journey markers - green and orange - and keep the RED to Damascus. I did this in another program to remove (see below).

Sure would be nice to be able to CLICK (n pick) which journey paths we want. Is this possible and I'm just now aware of it? If not, this would be super helpful!

Sorry this isn't possible but I agree it would be nice.

It's not possible unfortunately. You're right that it would be useful in this case.

I did a search in my library to see if there were any other maps, but only really came up with a simple black and white image in Acts for Everyone, and a map in the ESV Study Bible very similar to the one in the Logos Atlas.

I wish there was a more general art tool that re-paints, using the color next to it! I have mucho art packages, etc. but I often want to erase and replace, as in the Saul's orange line example. It'd be VERY handy for lots of Bible class illustrations (reducing details, etc).

See if any of your art programs provide a Clone tool. It does exactly what you are asking, Denise.

Thanks Mark. What's the best way to do a search like that? I searched Factbook, "Maps" under search criteria. I have the NT Wright series but not sure how you found that (outside of looking up the passage and reading through to find the image). Many thanks.

I used the search string #image WITHIN {Milestone <Acts 9>}. It's a useful search to try when you're looking for pictures that illustrate a particular Bible passage. It's effectively asking Logos to look through the passage and find all the images, and is a good way of looking for images within commentaries. A search like that would never be my first port of call (I'd start with the Factbook entry for the event, and follow it up with media searches for things like map Jerusalem Damascus paul, and things like that. But in this example, it was the only search string I tried that gave me something near what you were looking for.

Thanks, Petah.  But not exactly (being exacting!).

My own Bible software has fairly sophisticated image support. So, it didn't take long to write a routine, the only issue being logical smoothing on compressed images (JPG's, etc).  I tested with the Saul image out of curiousity ... that image has serious compression challenges.
