[GRASS-user] choropleth maps and black and white printing

Hello,

not strictly Grass related but maybe someone can help.

What's the best solution for choropleth maps in black and white (NOT
greyscale) for printing (book)?

5 -7 classes, sequential data.

Thank you,

I'll probably follow MacEachran and use dots with varying size and spacing. I
don't suppose this can be achieved from within grass?

You should be able to achieve this with the pat option in the vareas command of ps.map (please make your patterns publicly available [1]).
