[GRASS-user] Saving d.graph output to a .png file

GRASS GRASS user

Hello,

I tried to save (to a .png file) a GRASS display including the ouput of d.graph as well as regular raster and vector maps. However, everything else except the d.graph output would show up in the .png image.

Thanks in advance for any tips,

Luigi

(grass 6.1)

d.graph only saves to the X monitor's draw-history if the input was
given in a file with the input= option. It can't recreate what was fed
from stdin in a future redraw.

So put your drawing commands in a file. g.tempfile might help.

Dear Hamish,

I did give input in a file via the input= option. Yet, it doesn’t save to .png.
However, I am using grass 6.0: could this be the problem?
Thanks and regards,

Luigi

Yes, you need to use GRASS 6.1 for this. d.graph has been rewritten
since GRASS 6.0, including a merge of d.mapgraph and the addition of
display symbols.
