Hi, I added a new symbol in SVN called extra/ping.
example: http://grass.osgeo.org/grass-wiki/images/Symb-ping.png another example showing with new d.vect dynamic rotation and size from DB columns: http://bambi.otago.ac.nz/hamish/grass/screenshots/ping_test.png commands to make that: #spearfish g.copy vect=bugsites,local_bugs v.db.addcol local_bugs col='size int' echo "UPDATE local_bugs SET size = 45 - cat/2" | db.execute v.colors local_bugs color=bcyr column=size -n g.region rast=elevation.10m r.shaded.relief elevation.10m g.region n=4921680 s=4914130 w=590120 e=597670 res=10 d.mon x0 d.resize w=500 h=500 d.rast elevation.10m.shade d.vect local_bugs rot_col=cat icon=extra/ping size=25 -a \ size_col=size color=none d.out.file -c ping_test other symbols: http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/IconSymbols enjoy, Hamish ps- we discovered that the Chlorophyll-a colormap from NASA's ocean color website looks really good with slope maps. (They are both rather similar in value & logarithmic distribution) A slight tweak to have it asymptote to 0.0 instead of 0.1 would get rid of the white blotches (to adjust see the generation script in the palettes's svn history log in grass-addons svn). example: http://bambi.otago.ac.nz/hamish/grass/screenshots/slope_chlr.png g.region -g rast=slope d.mon x1 d.resize w=634 h=478 r.colors slope rules=./grass-addons/raster/r.colors.tools/palettes/palette_chl_etc.gcolors d.rast slope _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
