output to HPGL language. Perhaps you can use it. But I don't know
where to get it... One other possibility would be to make PPM output
in Grass, which you can convert to a lot of other formats using the
PBMplus package available from the same address as Grass. That way you
may be able to print output.> You'll ask perhaps at this point WHY to get through all this hassle in

(and therefore of the mosaicking) of the photo's depends on 1) the scanning
resolution, 2) the quality of the coordinates used for georeferencing.
Ad 1) Although I scanned my photos with 100 dpc I ended up with pixels some
3 - 3,5 meters across. Much too large to do accurate georeferncing.
Ad 2) I got my georeferncing coordinates off a topographic map 1:10,000. So
my coordinates have a precision of only ca. 2,5 - 5 meters.
If you add both mistakes together, you get an awfully large mistake.>
