[GRASSLIST:6031] colortable problem in ps.map

[Brian Chen]

Hi,

I have a colortable and a category file for a raster map. According to 
the GRASS 5.x Reference Manual (colortable-ps.map, see the following 
appendix for details.), when  I use ps.map to create a color table, this 
color table will display the category labels specified in the category 
file. But I get the colortable with full range the category values 
nomatter how I change the category file. Why? (My GRASS version is 5.0.1)

Thanks,

Brian Chen


Appendix:

1.Map instruction for ps.map:
...
colortable
where 5.43 2
width 0.1
height 2
cols 1
nodata n
end
...

Description in GRASS 5.x Reference Manual about colortable in ps.map:
The color table will display the colors for each raster map layer 
category value and the category label. ...

Another issue is that the color table only includes categories which 
have a label. If there are only a few categories, you can use r.support 
to manually add labels. If there are too many categories to do this, you 
could write a script to add dummy labels to the cats file
(<gisdbase>/<location>/<mapset>/cats/<mapname>).
