If the environment variable GRASS_RENDER_IMMEDIATE is set to TRUE, PNG or PS, all d.* commands write graphics directly to a file, without using a monitor. The filename, format and dimensions are set by environment variables, as described at: http://grass.ibiblio.org/gdp/html_grass63/variables.html#png http://grass.ibiblio.org/gdp/html_grass63/variables.html#ps All of the functionality of the PNG and PS drivers is available in this way. -- Glynn Clements <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
