I've installed the MS-Windows version 6.3.0 on a Vista machine along with the NC datafiles. Page 170 of Neteler and Mitasova gives the example d.vect -c census_wake2000 disp=shape,attr attrcol=FIPSSTCO siz=5 lcol=black.
It seems to me there are at least 3 ways to do this, and I can only get one of them to work. Any suggestions on why approaches 2 and 3 below don't work (at least for me)? 1) If I click the "Add command layer" icon of GIS Manager and type the example, it seems to execute properly. 2) If instead I click the "Add vector layer" icon of GIS Manager and try to fill in/select the proper commands, I can't get the labels to appear. Major settings are: Vector map: census_wake2...@permanent Display: Shapes Points Lines Boundaries Areas Point symbols: baskic/circle Size: 5 Draw lines: color=black width=1pixel Fill areas= Random colors Lable vectors checked, text color=black, text size=5 Label part to align with vector point: left, Justification: center Layer for labels: 1 Attribute col for labels: FIPSSTCO Clicking either the "Display active layers" icon or "Redraw all layers" icon draws the colored map, BUT does not draw the labels. Output in GIS.m is: d.vect map=census_wake2...@permanent -c color=0:0:0 lcolor=0:0:0 fcolor=170:170:170 display=shape,attr type=point,line,boundary,area icon=basic/circle size=5 layer=1 {att=FIPSSTCO} lsize=5 xref=left yref=center llayer=1 Why do the labels not appear on the map? Lastly 3) Typing the example into the bottom window of GIS.m and press ing the run button, the color map appears in the Map Display 1 window, but there are no labels, What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Matt _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user Matt I had the same problem but stumbled upon the centroid solution. Have you had any problems creating thematic (graduated point, line or colour) layers and having them draw in the map display? I am also using WinGRASS 6.3 on Vista and have not been able to make this work properly. The layer simply does not draw when applying the thematic map layer. Let me know if you have had any problem with this issue.
