<TITLE>Why does v.label require an x display?</TITLE>

<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN DEFANGED_STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>IR17;m working with creating a TclTk version of d.label to make postscript text labels (rather than raster text labels) available in the GIS Manager.<BR>
<BR>
I just tried v.label to make a new set of labels and found that it won’t run unless an x display is open. No need to have anything showing in the x display, it just has to be open.<BR>
<BR>
Is this really necessary? If not, can it be changed?<BR>
