[GRASSLIST:1761] maps with polygons from sites files

[Andreas Lange]

Hi,

i need thematic maps from sites files (pinpoint maps). But the maps with
d.sites commands are not very fancy. So i had the idea that i could draw
polygons with piping s.out.ascii to v.in.poly and display with d.area.
This allows me to draw circles, triangles, quadrats and other regular
shaped polygons with user selectable size and colors. 

But the problem with this is that for overlapping polygons the topology
is not created correctly, so nothing is displayed or only some points
are drawn in the display. 

Are there any workarounds for this? Can i use another command?

Thanks in advance for help,

Andreas
