[GRASS-user] ps.map vlegend name

Hi,
I looked around but couldn’t find the answer to my particular problem. I’m generating PS maps using the ps.map functionality and use the vlegend to add a legend. However, each layer name also includes PERMANENT. How can I remove this from the name?

For example, my layer name is roads but when the legend if produced, it prints: roads (PERMANENT).

I presume it’s because the vectors were saved in PERMANENT, but how can I remove it from the legend when producing my PS map?

Thanks in advance and have a great day,
Conrad

Did you check for the `label`? From the manual
(https://grass.osgeo.org/grass70/manuals/ps.map.html#vlegend):

label - for description in vlegend. Default is: map(mapset);

Thanks Nikos,
I’m sure that’s the solution (will test today). But the docs don’t describe the ‘label’ parameter in the vlegend section. That’s probably why I didn’t notice it…

Otherwise, the docs are great!

Have a great day,
Conrad
