I have just now added that functionality in CVS. Also raster+vector maps
can be displayed together now, before you could only use one or the
other. I also did a few i.vpoints bugfixes several days ago.


remaining i.[v]points bugs to be aware of:

* Warped vector overlay still isn't working correctly AFAICT.
    (*huge* outstanding wish)
* You need to launch it from the command prompt. (no GUI startup)

Otherwise I think the module is in pretty good shape now.

[The module may be scheduled for replacement, but it doesn't hurt to do
bug fixes on nearly complete code.]

very nifty.

configure is a script which comes with the GRASS source code.
look for it in /home/dell-2_samba/downloads/temp/grass6/

but you can probably skip that and just run "make" in the
imagery/i.vpoints/ directory if you already have the source.


[ general:
Download the weekly CVS snapshot, run "cvs -dP update", then
./configure, then make.
