One of the Oldest and largest Scientific Departments of India is evaluating GRASS GIS.
No doubt that it is compared with ARC-INFO.
We are having difficulty to demonstrate Good Mapcomposition through
GRASS.
-
Geological structural symbols like Foliation / Bedding which are taken from a table
and represented with the rotation as per table… How can we do it, in GRASS or
any FOSS software?
-
Symbol generation for GEOLOGY, what FOSS software to use ?
-
Preparation of a map with Cartographic elegance, What FOSS to Use.
ThanX in anticipation

Give the generic mapping tools a try:

Dylan,
My thought exactly… Some very stunning graphics can be created with GMT.

I agree.
GMT may be tricky at first, but you can make excellent maps with it.
a good example (I guess this is from Dylan):

I suggest you consider GMT (http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu) for quality
publishable maps, which can equal or better most commercial applications.
There are a number of ways of accessing GRASS data to plot with GMT.

The USGS has some great geologic maps online here:
http://ngmdb.usgs.gov/ImageLibrary/
If you aren't familure with proffessional geologic maps, (as opposed
to a geology figure in a journal article) it's worth taking a look at
these. They are very complex projects that challenge the best
cartographic tools available (at any cost).

Hi:
My experience with GRASS and GMT is very positive. You can export the grass
raster files to GMT format and add lots of nice cartographic stuff.
I have some notes on the use of GMT and GMT with GRASS in my web site (see
below) but it is written in spanish (sorry ;-).
By the way, at the moment I have to map vector layers with tricky topology,
and I think (but I still have not tested) the best option is to use the png
driver with a proper size and insert the result into the postscript GMT file
like an image file, any suggestion?
