[GRASSLIST:5723] legend colors from shapefile

GRASS GRASS user

Hello all,

I'm working with a geological map that I imported from a shapefile with
v.in.ogr. The thing is: what is the best way to have this map displayed with
the same colors I used to have in ArcView? Is there a way to import the legend
(.avl) file?

Thanks all

carlos

shape file imported as vector map:

Create a GRASS_RGB column and use it with 'd.vect -a'.
(you'll probably need to write a little script to do this)

shape file imported and converted into raster map:

write a script to make a rules file. see 'r.colors color=rules'

Please report any success!
