I am not sure if I am missing something obvious here or not.. but I am
having a slight problem displaying a sites file, and cannot seem to
figure it out.. the problem is that only one site is showing up, even
though there are 12 in the file... the site lists is as follows:
-- name|buoys.sites
desc|s.in.ascii sites=buoys.sites input=buoy_grass_21_12.txt fs=space
93:30W|22:36N|#1 %100 %11 %41901
89:42W|25:48N|#2 %60 %14 %1 %42001

90:30W|27:30N|#12 %50 %8 %0.5 %42041
my first thought was out of region, but that looks kosher.. my current region is:
N=38:15N S= 13:30N E=70:48W W=104:24W (lat/long)
Any ideas?

The first line has 6 columns, the second 7 columns! This may be the problem!

The first site has only 3 floating point attributes, whereas all the
others have 4. Probably d.sites assumes the format of the first site is
the same for the whole file, and then stops when it finds one that doesn't
match the format or continues on through the file looking for others that
match the format of the first one, but in this case there are none.

Thanks Paul..
Something I hadn't thought about really... and voila, that was the problem... hmmm... interesting, very interesting... so this means that the format of each line MUST be the same, or it will not plot... raising a slight problem, but I will figure something out...
Thanks for the insight, something I have never dealt with before, and some very valuable insight... guess I must go and create my own site files as a work around...

The first site has only 3 floating point attributes, whereas all the
others have 4.
As far as I remember the sites library in libgis takes the first *data*
line of the site file to detect the format and column order.
All data lines have to be identical.
