<FONT FACE="Skia, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN DEFANGED_STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>I just committed a set of updates to the thematic mapper, d.vect.thematic, and posted it on my website. <BR>

<BR>
<BR>
There are several new options.<BR>
<BR>
1. You can update the GRASSRGB column of a vector file with the thematic colors. Thanks to Jachym Cepicky for this new feature.<BR>
<BR>
2. You can now have a graphic legend (with either graduated colors or graduated icons) drawn to the display monitor of your choice. Thanks to Hamish for updating d.graph to make this possible. **Note: this only work correctly for graduated colors with the new version of d.graph that Hamish Bowman just committed to the CVS**.<BR>
<BR>
3. You can create a custom color gradient by specifying start and end colors as r:g:b triplets. Thanks to Markus for help with this.<BR>
<BR>
4. The table connected to a vector map is automatically recognized, regardless of its name. Thanks to Martin Landa for this.<BR>
<BR>
Enjoy mapping!<BR>
