Re: [GRASS-user] Rendering labels in GRASS Cartographic Composer from vector layer

Hi, yes, the problem is that after you change the fontsize option in the dialog, now there is no way to disable it, you have to close it and open it again. Related ticket 1048 [1]. Thanks. As for the cartographic composer, labels are not yet supported. I will try to add it soon.

does the same labels file work ok in an Xmon with 'd.labels'? Yes, I can see the labels in the Map Display. I've run v.labels with font Helvetica and inserted Helvetica in psmap file, and also tried changing fontsize in psmap file. I also tried with a projected map layer, but still cannot see

Thanks Hamish. Confirming, running ps.map manually* works fine for rendering labels in the map. Richard *From Cartographic Composer File Launch ps.map dialog browse to .psmap file etc Or File Manager Command console run ps.map etc -- View this message in context:

On closer inspection it appears that the labels layer created with v.label will not display in the Map Display. However, I'm able to display labels from the vector layer by ticking the 'attrcol' option. Maybe there is an option I need to tick or modify in v.label, but I'd be grateful for any

Okay, I found the solution: *the quick answer is try to use the v.label fontsize= option. set it to 10 or 12 or so. * Ref: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/how-to-v-label-d-labels-usage-labels-do-not-appear-td3893058.html#a3893070 -- View this message in context:

From the above reference: (the default) is measured in map units. So in your case it would make the labels sized as 100 meters on the map. If you zoom way out that becomes very tiny and the label disappears. (see also the d.labels min and max options) If I set a label size in v.label (pts),
