legends....

[Cliff Behrens]

Christine,

As I recall, the default use of p.map.new uses whatever color table is 
defined for your raster layer...all you need to do is define patterns for
map categories.  I have listed below a script which shows you how to define
patterns for a p.map.  (I have one for each category of land use in my 
classified satellite image.)  Just remember to use p.map.new in 4.1 else you
won't see the legend on the screen.
