Hello all,<br><br>I am better at GRASS raster capabilities than with GRASS vector handling, so I am writing to get your help. <br><br>What I want to do is this:<br>1. I will have one vector dataset of watersheds. Each record is a polygon, an individual watershed. There are, apart from the usual cat fields, 52 attribute columns. Each attribute column is modeled weekly snow depth.<br>
<br>2. I need to automate the display and export to png of 52 thematic images - one for each week/column - keeping the color scheme constant throughout. Then all of the images will be packaged into a kml animation.<br><br>
I know how to do the above starting from a stack of GRASS rasters, but am not quickly getting a handle on displaying GRASS vectors consistently. I've tried d.vect and d.vect.thematic. I havent tried d.thematic.area yet.<br>
<br>The main issues are that I dont know: <br>
- how to assign a constant color scheme to each map (that spans the min and max of all columns); i guess i was looking for something as simple as setting color rules like with raster data.<br> <br>- how to refer to each attribute column by column number in a loop (d.vect.thematic and d.thematic.area seem to need column name as attribute)<br>
<br>Any pointers would be greatly appreciated,<br>Vishal<br><br>Vishal K. Mehta, PhD<br>Scientist<br>Stockholm Environment Institute - US<br>133 D St Suite F<br>Davis CA 95616<br><a href="http://www.sei-us.org">www.sei-us.org</a><br>
