[GRASS-dev] ps.map: how to rotate paper?

Hi,

I wanted to create a landscape-A3 map but cannot figure out
how to rotate the paper (-r doesn't do what I want).

ps_info.h:#define PAGE_LANDSCAPE 2

doesn't seem to be used.

Add a new paper size with the width and height swapped, e.g.

    { "a3-landscape", 16.535, 11.693, 1.0, 1.0, 0.5, 0.5 },

If you want to print it, you'll need a printer which accepts
A3-landscape paper (i.e. an A2 printer).

OK, done so - also for a4 (a4-landscape).

A3-landscape paper (i.e. an A2 printer).
  

I'll use a poster print mode on a a4 printer (so that it plots on
several sheets).
