[GRASS-dev] OGSF vector feature styling

[Bob Covill]

Hello Maris,

I do not know if it helps, but I use the attached routine to draw
thematic points with ogsf. This routine takes the vector attribute
column and scales the icon accordingly. 

>From the routine:
name=vector file name, 
new_id is returned from GP_new_site() when laoding, 
marker_id is the marker type (eg. ST_CUBE),
color is the site color,
thematic_col_lab is the name of the vector column to use for attribute
(eg. dbl_2), 
thematic scale is the scale factor for the attribute. 

Note that the code is from GTK+, so gchar = char, gint = int, etc.

Hope this helps.

Bob
