Hi there,
I have trouble setting scale attribute in p.map.new command. What
ever I set, "scale 10 centimeters" or "scale 1:25000", the size of the
output map is the same. Does anyone know how to solve this?-Madeline
It depends on which paint driver you select. When printing to a
printer, the scale will reflect the input you have given to
p.map.new. However, if you have choosen to print to a ppm file, the
scale will always be the same, unless you set environment variables
HEIGHT (# rows in resulting bitmap) and WIDTH (# columns)
Bourne shell syntax:
HEIGHT=2048
WIDTH=1024
expost HEIGHT WIDTH
csh syntax:
setenv HEIGHT 2048
setenv WIDTH 1024
With some effort you can calculate the number of rows and columns you
need, to print an image on a printer with a specific resolution on a
preferred scale.
