If it's

I found that I actually can use the PNG driver (I had been just
saving from the display to a png). And it does look better, if I
crank up the size bunch.
So my main question is how can I get good quality multi-line labels
to a saved file? Is there a way to cause the font resolution to be
higher in my raster layer? Is there a way to get a vector layer to
break across multiple lines where I want? Is there some other
solution that I am missing?
You might try ps.map or d.* commands directly on the command line,
they
might not be as user friendly as the GUI, but they are more mature and
IM(biased)O ps.map creates the best looking output.
But, for either using the PNG driver, ps.map, or d.* commands I
can't seem to figure out how to combine two raster maps. In other
words, what I am currently doing with the GUI, is displaying two
raster maps, one is 50% transparent, and then adding some vector
information over the top of that. With the GUI I just set the opaque
to transparent slider for one of the maps.
Is there a way to do the equivalent from the command line? Or just
to overlay two maps, one at 50% opaque, to generate a new raster
map? It seems like it should be easy, but I am not having any luck
figuring it out. I did try g.pnmcomp, that the gui uses, but it
seems that it does not find the files properly and it "isn't meant
for the end user" anyway.
Any ideas?
