[GRASSLIST:295] hatching

[Miha STAUT]

Hi everybody,

Has anybody of the developers ever thought to add to the d.vect.area and 
ps.map a hatching facility. I think it is very useful if you can print on 
the screen (and on the printer too) more than just one aerial variable. Is 
this difficult? I know ArcView 3.1 has it but overprints one hatch over 
another so that the lower layers are not visible.

I had experience with 8 layers derived from r.poly which were quite big 
(between 50000 and 100000 lines). All the CAD programs stucked. Arcview made 
it in a flash just as probably GRASS would (the same way as colour fills the 
polygons).

Should I add this to the wish list?
Can anybody indicate a program where broad and fast hatching facilities are 
available?
