[GRASS-user] grid legend

GRASS GRASS user
1

Hello.

I wont to do something similar to what is done in:
http://www.gdf-hannover.de/lit_html/grass60_v1.2_en/node81.html
in figure 36 and 38 (processing figures with xfig). Having a figure where you could see the coordinates of your points

The problem is to generate x and y-axes with numbers, surrounding the map.
d.grid gives something similar, but I cant seem to turn of the grid lines and the numbers are "inside" the map.
tried ps.map, but can't move the numbers outside the x and y lines (see attachment)

If anyone has any suggestions how to do this or know how this is done with xfig, I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

try d.grid with grid line color set to "none", and especially ps.out from
wiki addons.

d.grid does not seem to accept color=none . I am sorry, but I was not able find the function ps.out.

A solution could be to use d.graph together with d.region.box (thank you, I found it at wiki addons) . Then I will have to make shell-script to generate the coordinates I want to use.

I just thought there was an easier solution, since it seems to be done by others (http://www.valledemexico.ambitiouslemon.com/gallery.html).

oh sorry. please file a wish. I'm quite busy now but will get back to it
eventually.

hmmm, it is not listed on the wiki page.
The source code is held in the addons code repository and may(?) build
automatically with the g.extension module in grass 6.5+.

http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass-addons/ps/

it's actually called ps.output. See the mailing list archives for
screenshots, it does what you want quite nicely.

d.region.box (thank you, I found it at wiki addons) . Then I

it could work, but isn't exactly a nice user friendly solution :slight_smile:

good luck,
