[GRASSLIST:3372] Set PNG resolution permanently

GRASS GRASS user
1

Hi,

I would like to set the PNG monitor resolution permanently in
grass5.0.2.

I changed my .grassrc to

.
.
.
GRASS_WIDTH: 3200
GRASS_HEIGHT: 2400
GRASS_PNGFILE:map.png
.
.
.

It does not work. I also tried to use '=' instead of ':'. I tried also
after logging out from grass. No effects.
Is it not possible at all to set it in .grassrc?

Ulrich

No. These three variables are environment variables, not GRASS
variables.

For bash, add the following to ~/.grass.bashrc:

  export GRASS_WIDTH=3200
  export GRASS_HEIGHT=2400
  export GRASS_PNGFILE=map.png

For csh/tcsh, add the following to ~/.grass.cshrc:

  setenv GRASS_WIDTH 3200
  setenv GRASS_HEIGHT 2400
  setenv GRASS_PNGFILE map.png
