(grass's symbol library doesn't yet know how to do curves so I had to calculate those manually) I'm close to the point where I have a matlab script that automatically translate simple SVG into GRASS symbols, but in many ways these things like to be hand crafted. At the end of the IconSymbols wiki page you will find links to a number of .svg and .eps symbol repositories which can already be used with ps.map. Better would be to translate that tool into Python+SciPy or C. see https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/733 and the d.graph module links- https://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/browser/trunk/qgis/images/svg https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/trunk/lib/symbol/symbol http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/IconSymbols > A sort of gis-desktop icons, see http://tango.freedesktop.org The way for this to happen IMO is for grass's display library to gain support for .svg, .eps, and perhaps .dxf files. Perhaps closer to home than Tango's gis-desktop icons is the collaboration between OpenStreetMap and GpsDrive re. gps POI symbols: http://www.gpsdrive.de/development/map-icons/overview.en.shtml http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/share/map-icons/ http://www.gpsdrive.de/debian/pool/squeeze/openstreetmap-map-icons-svg*.deb regards, Hamish _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
