[GRASS-user] map display

Dear list,

I am quite new in the GRASS Gis environment and I've some problems with the display of my features.
My GRASS version is the 6.2.3 on Open Suse 10.2 (64 bit). After defining the projection, importing the data (in this case a shape file) and entering the d.vect command nothing is drawn on the display. I also tried the d.mon command but no graphics are shown.

Can anybody help?

Regards

Chris

Hi Christian,

you can try to change the region settings to fit the map extend (in command
line):

g.region vect=map -p
d.erase
d.vect map

the -p parameter shows the current region settings (coordinates, resolution,
etc.)

Hi Chris,

If you intend on using d.mon you should start a monitor with d.mon x0. Before
that, you should set the region extent. So doing
1) g.region vect=yourshpfile
2) d.mon x0
3) d.vect yourshpfile
should give you some results.

Same procedure should work for gis.m. Set your region first before drawing the
graphics.

Greetings
