Dear all, I am trying to get output image files in various formats using the Cairo driver, following some very useful Python scripting examples: https://baharmon.github.io/python-in-grass
When I try to map vector layers (e.g., point data) on top of raster layers (say a digital elevation model); if I use PNG output file extension, both vector and raster layers show up with points having transparent background, if I use PDF, PS, or SVG output file extension, only the vector layer (drawn last) is shown in the output image with white background. Maybe the PS driver is a better option? Yet, I was reading this old grass-dev post that may be relevant: https://marc.info/?l=grass-dev&m=146346954429631&w=2 Kind regards, Luigi Sample test function I am using follows: def make_map(outfile_name, fig_width, fig_height, bg_color: Optional[str] = None, file_types: Optional[list] = None): """ Test ouput map figure. PLEASE CHECK as PDF and PS output does not get vectors displayed on top of rasters. """ background_color = bg_color or [NO_BG_COLOR] extensions = [PNG] if file_types is None else file_types for extension in extensions: outfile = pathlib.Path(OUT_DIR).joinpath(f"{outfile_name}.{extension}") grass.run_command("d.mon", overwrite=True, start="cairo", width=fig_width, height=fig_height, bgcolor=background_color, output=outfile) grass.run_command("d.rast", map="raster_layer") grass.run_command("d.vect", map="point_vector_layer", type="point", color="150:0:0", size=20) # all other display commands grass.run_command("d.mon", stop="cairo") Bundled GRASS app for Mac from here: http://grassmac.wikidot.com/downloads System Info: GRASS version: 8.0.dev Code revision: 32930185c Build date: 2021-07-01 Build platform: x86_64-apple-darwin20.5.0 GDAL: 3.1.4 PROJ: 7.1.1 GEOS: 3.8.1 SQLite: 3.35.4 Python: 3.8.8 wxPython: 4.1.1 Platform: macOS-10.16-x86_64-i386-64bit g.version -b GRASS 8.0.dev (2021) ./configure --with-macosx-sdk=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX10.14.sdk --enable-64bit --with-macosx-archs=x86_64 --with-opengl=aqua --with-openmp --prefix=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources --with-freetype --with-freetype-includes=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/include/freetype2 --with-freetype-libs=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/lib --with-gdal=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gdal-config --with-gdal-libs=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/lib --with-proj=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/bin/proj --with-proj-includes=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/include --with-proj-libs=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/lib --with-proj-share=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/share/proj --with-geos=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/bin/geos-config --with-jpeg-includes=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/include --with-jpeg-libs=//Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/lib --with-png-includes=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/include --with-png-libs=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/lib --with-tiff-includes=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/include --with-tiff-libs=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/lib --with-postgres=yes --with-postgres-includes=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/include --with-postgres-libs=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/lib --without-mysql --with-sqlite --with-sqlite-libs=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/lib --with-sqlite-includes=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/include --with-fftw-includes=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/include --with-fftw-libs=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/lib --with-cxx --with-cairo --with-cairo-includes=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/include/cairo --with-cairo-libs=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/lib --with-cairo-ldflags=-lcairo --with-zstd --with-zstd-libs=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/lib --with-zstd-includes=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/include --with-bzlib --with-bzlib-libs=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/lib --with-bzlib-includes=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/include --with-netcdf=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/bin/nc-config --with-blas --with-blas-libs=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/lib --with-blas-includes=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/include --with-lapack --with-lapack-includes=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/include --with-lapack-libs=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/lib --with-netcdf=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/bin/nc-config --with-nls --with-libs=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/lib --with-includes=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/include --with-pdal=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pdal-config --with-pdal-libs=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/lib --with-readline --with-readline-includes=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/include/readline --with-readline-libs=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/lib --with-liblas=/Applications/GRASS-8.0.app/Contents/Resources/bin/liblas-config -- Luigi Ponti
