[GRASSLIST:2225] RE: Changing Paper Size in ps.map

[John Gillette]

As the man page for ps.select says, there should be a file 
in $GISBASE/etc/paint/ps.devices with the name you are 
selecting (large printer?). Check this file (it is ascii)
and look at the settings.  You should see something like:

level: 2
page width: 8.5000
page height: 14.0000
...

Are these setting what you expect?
If not, you can create your own custom page size.

Subject: [GRASSLIST:2221] Changing Paper Size in ps.map


I have been trying to create a large scale map (18" x 24") using 
ps.map.  I set ps.select to the large printer, but when I run ps.map 
and view the postscript file it only shows a quarter of the image.  I 
convert the file using ps2pdf then view it in Acrobat Reader.  Acrobat 
seems to be stuck on standard US Letter.  However, I get the same 
result if I view the ps file directly in Mac's Preview.

I am running grass 5.0.2 on Mac OS X 10.3.
