[GRASSLIST:135] ps.map label number limit

GRASS GRASS user

hi to all,
I have some vector maps and associated labels which I would like to
print out with ps.map.
Unforunately, I got this error message:

ps.map input=file.txt output=file.ps
ERROR: cdp_label in PERMANENT : no more label files allowed

Why is there a limit in label number?
Is there a way to increase the number of labels which can be printed??

thanks to all

cheers,
Francesco

ps/ps.map/labels.h

defines MAXLABELS as 10. I don't know why. You can try increasing that,
recompiling, and see what happens.

alternatively make a master labels file out of the multiple smaller
ones:

cd $MAPSET/paint/labels/
cat labelfile1 labelfile2 labelfile3 > labelsfile_all

then just use labelsfile_all. maybe open in a text editor and make sure
the spacing between files is correct. I think it should be ok though.

Hi Hamish,
thanks for your suggestions, I made a single large label files using cat
... > new_file and it worked fine.

cheers
