Ahh no units option in my grass version: /250k_layout.map + REGION=surigao_test_reg + TITLE=SURIGAO + PCGS=2535 + g.region region=surigao_test_reg res=100 + ps.map out=surigao_test_reg.ps where x y length length height height segment no_segemnts numbers no_labels fontsize fontsize background [Y|n] enter 'end' when done, 'exit' to quit + echo 'finished generating postscript map of SURIGAO' finished generating postscript map of SURIGAO [Raster MASK present]
I'll try a new grass version then.
