[GRASS-dev] m.printws - new module recommendation/announcement

[Robert Kuszinger]

Hi all,

I've created a new python script which generates:

   - quick printout (pdf) from workspace definitions
   - supports multiple display definitions in one workspace ( = multiple
   printouts in one run)
   - UTF-8 text could also be printed (ps.map supports only latin1, this
   was the initial reason to create alternative print method)

known major issues:

   - barscale and northarrow positioning should be revised in the
   respective d.* modules
   - ImageMagick dependency should be eliminated longer term
   - regexp processing of workspace files instead of formal XML processing
   - needs more calibration on txt/symbol resizing according to printout
   dpi change


This module is NOT for professional prints but for quick&dirty and
hopefully comfortable
printout making.

Tested under:

   - Linux: 7.0.4,7.2 latest, 7.3 weekly snapshot
   - Windows: 7.3 binary OSGeo4W

best regards
Robert
