[GRASS-dev] problems with thematic mapper (was "added opacity option to grc file")

I don't know what's going on, but I just tried to create a thematic map and
got the following error:

csh: if: Expression Syntax.
d.vect.thematic: awk required, please install awk or gawk first

I DO have awk installed (I double checked). I made no changes to the
d.vect.thematic script that should cause this error.

Does anyone have an idea what's going on?

Moritz,

This will be nice if it doesn't break anything.

The optlist is used for a variety of things and was designed for options for
a d.* command. Opacity is not one of those options. It is a value used for
compositing when g.pnmcomp is run.

I should look to see where optlist is being used again besides in creating a
list of options for *.grc output. But I'm assuming that it would be obvious
if this caused a problem.

Let's hope. Sorry, I should have consulted you before committing.

I have another problem which is also new: it seems as if the thematic
layer only displays the highest (last) class. Below you see the messages
in the output window. Nothing seems to be going wrong, but in the
display I only see those areas which are in the range 4152.66 - 20174.

Hello Michael,

Just to inform you: I just added support for the opacity option in the
.grc file to cvs:
