Hi Tim, Although it's definitely possible to make maps with GRASS, I personally prefer to use GRASS to produce my data and then make my maps with QGIS. Therefore I'm not too familiar with GRASS cartography (is definitely possible) but QGIS makes it quite easy. You could create custom vector symbology that does just what you describe and load your vectors into a database (see QGIS User Guide, especially chapter 3.4, Vector Properties Dialog - http://download.osgeo.org/qgis/doc/manual/qgis-1.5.0_user_guide_en.pdf). I'm not so sure about vectors with directions, though. You could categorize your lines as having their left side in a certain direction, for example... Or maybe somebody else has a better idea for that.
