d.barscale has a number of optional flags to play with: -l, -n, -s also use can use d.graph to throw up one of the Symbols, see http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/IconSymbols for cartography purposes ps.map (and ps.output in wiki/svn addons) besides the provided north arrow symbols and it's own fancy/plain scalebar, allows you to draw any .eps file (* and it's easy to convert ..svg to .eps) on the map. Some examples here: http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/IconSymbols#Other_contributions (e.g. http://www.esf.edu/la/resources/GOL/north/2D_vector/default.htm) http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/Ps.map_scripts#Creating_a_fancy_North_Arrow http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/Ps.map_scripts#Converting_SVG_to_EPS d.legend has lots to explore as well, but that's another story. regards, Hamish _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
