[GRASSLIST:9571] Re: script for creating map

[Maik Trömel]

When I try to run "d.mon start=PNG" the error doesn't occure. But there 
is another error:
after running
d.mon start=PNG
d.mon select=PNG
d.rast geom_summe_s_filt_country
d.vect map=grass_country
d.mon stop=PNG

===>

PNG: GRASS_TRUECOLOR status: FALSE
PNG: collecting to file: map.png,
    GRASS_WIDTH=640, GRASS_HEIGHT=480
Graphics driver [PNG] started
100%
Monitor 'PNG' terminated
ERROR - eof from graphics monitor.
