Hi all I'm producing maps in svg format using the cairo driver and d.out.file. One thing I'd really like to be able to do is set one or more of the vector layers to be partially translucent. After rummaging through this list, I'm beginning to wonder if its possible at all, since translucency in the guis seems to be handled by g.pnmcomp, but perhaps someone with more experience knows a way to do it.
eg: d.mon start=x1 d.vect map=road_lines d.vect map=forest_areas # this is the layer I need translucent d.out.file -c ~/Desktop/test format=svg d.mon stop=x1 The only workaround I've managed to find so far is to export each layer as an individual svg, then use something like inkscape to rejoin them, setting the translucency/transparency of each layer as I do it. Which is fine for a map with only a few layers, but gets tedious when dealing with maps with dozens of layers. Any ideas or suggestions?
