I discovered the labels are present in the output, even if they aren't initially visible, and I can reposition them by hand in Inkscape. That will do for now. Best, Tyler For now your best bet is to open the resulting .ps file in your favourite industrial strength text editor and search near the end of the file for the line with the ZB (50N) PB text. The line after it starts with two numbers. These are points (1/72) from the left side of the paper. Changing the number by 10 will move it the same distance on the page as the size of a 10 pt font. So try reducing the first number (x coord) by about 10 and check the results. For the 80W on the bottom you'll have to change the second number of course.

[GRASS-user] ps.map grids
Hi, I'm trying to make a ps make, which I'll then tweak in Inkscape. The basic map looks almost correct, but the geogrid labels are placed slightly off the page. Is there a way to instruct GRASS to move the labels inwards so they are readable? The map is here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/carex/13433924714/ The script I'm using is: g.region n=935000 s=-75 e=180 w=67 ps.map input=inputscript output=cranberry-map.ps where 'inputscript' contains the following: vlines provinces_ca type boundary color black end vlines usa type boundary color black end vpoints cranberry_ONQU type point color red fcolor red symbol basic/point end geogrid 5 d color grey numbers 1 black end paper width 3.5 height 5 left 0.1 right 0.1 top 0.1 bottom 0.1 end Thanks!
