[GRASSLIST:4114] points and centroids bcolor + g.parser

Hi,

I have recently been using heavily GRASS5.7 as a GIS program and came up with the following 2 questions/observations:

1 - If I draw my points or centroids as filled elements (circle, triangle or diamond or whatever) with a color fill and an outline color they draw right on the screen but when I print them with ps.map I get the right color for the outline but always a red background, no matter what color I chose for the background. A bug? A limit in the ps.map module?

2 - I have a mosaic of 200 raster maps. If I use the v.digit command my screen clears and the editing mode of the chosen vector appears. Digitizing is usually done with a background, and to have a background with the current v.digit module you have to use the options window and type out d.rast map=<yourmapname>. Is it technically complex to run v.digit in such a way that also the other commands from d.m are active? So that I can draw background stuff using the GUI, which makes things much faster when I have to juggle 200 rasters. I tried putting the "&" in the v.digit string in the ::workonvector function in the TCL vector.tcl file, but when I draw rasters the editing mode of the vector disappears, and viceversa when I draw the editable vector with v.digit my background disappears.

Cheers,
Francesco

A bug. From d.m? fcolor (vpoints) in ps.map input should help.
