+1 on the ps.map cookbook I can provide my ps.map files. Some ideas: 1. Techniques in making atlas, like a script that can use a single ps.map config to a number of regions to create a map atlas expanding the ps.atlas script.
2. More http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/AreaFillPatterns for landuse/cover, geology, etc. 3. Basic/advanced ps.map config for various map layout 4. How-to on integrating ps.map output to other graphics/printing apps (scribus, gimp, latex) When I got the hang of ps.map, I find it easier to tweak map layouts. Much like when you got the hang of using mapserver's map file :). Actually it seems very similar to mapserver's mapfile. cheers, maning On 7/3/08, Christian Ferreira <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > > While the core developers decide about the future for ps.map...
