Can someone please let me know if it is possible to assign
custom colors to the lines around individual shapes in a vector
file?
it is possible, and in the past I've done it.
I realize this is awkward because two adjacent shapes share a
border, and yet may have a different RGB value in the attribute
table. I suppose this could be solved by having the border be
half the color of one and half the color of the other - but
this may not be possible. My idea would be to have something
like
d.vect -a type=area map=provinces rgb_column=RGB
Except instead of the rgb column specifying fill color, it
specifies line color.
my solution was to have a small (say 3mm) fill of color along
the inside of each area boundary. I didn't have a nice automated
solution, just added category numbers to the boundaries, ran
v.buffer, used v.overlay to save only the side of the buffer
which was inside each area, and then d.vect'ed the result
with fcolor=R:G:B and color=none. a bit clunkly, but ISTR that
it worked.
