ps.map: geogrid RGB color and ellipsoid

[hamish]

Hi,

ps.map's geogrid command only accepts named colors currently. it should be updated to accept R:G:B as well.

Also it is unclear to me which ellipsoid geogrid uses. I suspect it is the current one, which is fine, but it would be nice to add an option to use WGS84's instead, like "d.grid -w".

thanks Hamish

ps- can we have "ps.map" added to the trac Component drop down list?

R:G:B is not supported by other commands, too. Mapinfo (color, background, border) and vlegend (border) are supported by the new GUI, so they should be fixed first.

Other commands which accept only named colors are: grid, geogrid, header, outline, setcolor. GUI does't support them yet, so these can wait.

Thanks

ok, will-do.

RGB support added to mapinfo in 6.5&7 in r45774,5. RGB support added to vlegend in 6.5&7 in r45776,7.

example showing mapinfo background working just until the point where the mapinfo box does not overlap the main map box: (change y=6.45 to 6.50 to see it fall off the edge)

#spearfish
g.region -d

ps.map out=test.ps << EOF
raster elevation.dem
mapinfo
  where 2 6.45
  color 200:10:200
  background 150:200:200
  border 250:220:50
  end
end
EOF

Thanks, I made the correction you suggested (use named color in the instruction file if possible).

I know about this, I suppose this behaviour is a bug. I forgot to mention it.

full support fro RGB colors added to the grid and geogrid instructions in devbr6 and trunk in r47689,90.

todo: PS.outline_color and hdr.color.

Hamish, please backport to G6.4.

[hamish]

backported RGB support for a number of instructions and various small bugfixes in r55176.

please test(!).

full RGB support for 'setcolor' backported to relbr64 in r55981. the rest which were already backported tested ok.

still todo before closing this ticket:
