Scaling vector data

[Malcolm Williamson]

Hi, Justin
>From a display point of view, GRASS, like most GIS packages, doesn't care 
about the scale of data, as long as it is in the same projection and 
datum. You can set your resolution to the raster map that you are 
interested in, and zoom in to any degree you want. Vectors are always 
displayed as one pixel wide in the X monitor. 

As a user, it is up to you to realize the difference in accuracy implied 
by the scale of different data layers. Hope that helps.
