Re: [GRASS-user] ps.map and line style
Vincent: > I need two black lines with /transparency/ in between. try the offset or coffset setting within the vlines instruction: offset (experimental) - offset for the vectors lines in pixels for plotting parallel lines in distance equal to offset (accepts positive or negative decimal points). Useful to print streets with several parallel lanes; coffset (experimental) - offset for the vectors lines. If coffset is used then off- set of line is equal to coffset * category value and offset is used in legend; (I think that "pixels" should really say "points", but..)

Re: [GRASS-user] ps.map and line style
Yes Hamish, this is what I was planning to do in the end. If I go this way, I'll probably have to implement an 'angle' attribute in order to align my point symbols on the line direction... Will give it a try too, thank you, Vincent.

Hi John, thanks for the trick, I'll give it a try, though I need two black lines with /transparency/ in between. Vincent.

[GRASS-user] ps.map and line style
Hello, in a map composition I need to draw contours with two particular linestyles: - a line bedecked with crosses: xxxx - a double line: = I am wondering if there is a simple way to specify e.g. a postscript linear pattern that applies to vlines, the same way we can with vareas. Any idea ? Vincent ___ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
