[GRASSLIST:5069] Re: Width of geogrid lines in ps.map

[Brent Crittenden]

Hamish,

Thanks for reply, and I apologize for the double post.  Newbie.

Good news and bad news.  Good news is I successfully hacked my first 
postscript file and made the grid lines wider!  Bad news is that is 
appears that the raster file portion of the postscript file was some 
kind of binary that was blasted when I saved the postscript file as 
text.  The resulting postscript file still converted to pdf, but all 
that was left really nice, width-controlled lines.

I echo your request for "someone" to add line width control to the 
geogrid function in ps.map.
