#1880: change color field to text for d.vect.chart
-------------------------------------------+--------------------------------
Reporter: cmbarton | Owner: grass-dev@…
     Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone: 6.4.3
Component: Display | Version: 6.4.2 RCs
Keywords: d.vect.chart, color arguments | Platform: All
      Cpu: All |
-------------------------------------------+--------------------------------
The color argument for d.vect.chart is defined in such a way that the GUI
converts it to a color chooser (interactive way to select colors) for the
properties dialog in the layer manager.

The problem is that this field needs to accept MULTIPLE colors, not a
single color. This is where the colors for different data fields are
chosen so that they appear as different colors in the charts. A single
color chooser makes this useless.

So unless there is a way for a color chooser to create a list of colors,
this argument needs to be redefined as text that accepts a list of comma-
separated colors.

  * keywords: d.vect.chart, color arguments => d.vect.chart,
               d.thematic.area, color arguments

Comment:

The same is true for d.thematic.area, in devbr6 the gisprompt line has
been commented out with a note about it:

[browser:grass/branches/develbranch_6/display/d.thematic.area/main.c#L118]
