[GRASS-dev] Where is the GRASS legend file?

[Michael Barton]

According to the d.legend.vect manual, I should have a legend file somewhere for all vectors. Here is what it says in notes:

"Module d.legend.vect draws vector legend based on legend file defined in shell environment variable GRASS_LEGEND_FILE. This file is automatically created and updated whenever d.vect command is used. User can create custom legend file and then use export GRASS_LEGEND_FILE=path/to/file in shell. GRASS GUI and MONITORS create the legend file automatically. By default the legend file is stored in grassdata/location/mapset/.tmp/user directory (in case of d.mon deeper in /monitor_name directory)."

As a test, I made a vector areas file out of the landclass96_28 raster in the North Carolina demo dataset. I set the vector color table to match the original raster. That works fine. Now I'd like to make a legend out of this. But I can't find the file that is supposed to be generated automatically to use or examine.

It is not in  grassdata/location/mapset/.tmp/user directory
/Users/cmbarton/Dropbox\ \(ASU\)/GRASS_dropbox/grassdata_dropbox/nc_spm_08_grass7/spatialtech2023/.tmp
This directory contains no files and only one empty folder ("OKED3863").

The environmental variable GRASS_LEGEND_FILE appears to be empty

So can anyone help me find this missing file?
