Thanks for explaining this. Could it be elaborated similarly in the manual
(and include a note you are talking about options "themecalc" and "nint").

Great, now I see. But manual says "Thematic colors can be uploaded to a
GRASSRGB column for later display (areas only) ...". This made me think it's
due to d.vect.thematic itself. I think this sentence should be changed to
avoid such missinformation.
