postscrip printing (ps.map)? (3)

->Subject: ps.map & lat/long
->
->ps.map will print vector maps based on lat/long only if the default region
->will fit into the one panel.  Selecting a region will cause ps.map to fail.
->Raster and grids accept the small region.  This effect does not occur with 
->UTM data.

Subj:	postscrip printing (ps.map)?  (3)



Dear Rosalie

I don't know if you were responding to my request, but it was a good starting
place to resolve the problem that I have been having displaying Vector maps
over Raster images in ps.map.

YES, we were working with lat lon data.  I switched the mapset over to UTM,
still with raster & vector mismatch.


Could you please expand on what you mean by "default region will fit into the 
one panel."  Does this mean that there is a limit on the 
size of a X and Y values within a region is which ps.map can work.


thankyou to all
