Hallo Hamish,
Thank you for your explanation, we shall try to do that way. We are looking
forward to use this functionality.

This isn't a NVIZ solution, but a dumb way of getting around the fact
that only areas respect the GRASSRBG column so far is to use v.buffer to
make your points into little areas and then "d.vect -a color=none" to
avoid drawing the boundary.

If I end up being the one who programs it (no sooner than 2 months from
now) d.vect type=point with GRASSRGB fill color for symbols should be
pretty easy to do, and then ps.map vareas,vpoints is the next priority.
I think someone else will have to do NVIZ.
