[GRASSLIST:5279] d.vect.area in GRASS 5.7

Hi All,
  I'm wondering what hapened with d.vect.area in GRASS 5.7 ? It seems that
it doesn't exist anymore... is there any new way to plot vector areas
with different colors ? I would like to map some areas according to the
values stored in any column of the database, but I don't know how to do
it.
  Thanks for your Ideas and help !

   D.

The functionality of d.vect.area has been integrated into d.vect. In your case
you could create a column with RGB values in your database and use the -a
flag, or use the cats or where option with fcolor.

In general, if you cannot find a command you used in 5.0/5.4 in 5.7, have a
look at http://grass.gdf-hannover.de/twiki/bin/view/GRASS/ModulePortingList to
find out how it was replaced.
