as previous email, to get rid of line drawing:

d.vect -a color=none

In the same fashion, set the fill color to "none":

d.vect map=states fcolor=none


another way with same result is to just draw vector boundaries, not
areas:

d.vect map=states type=boundary


This second method also avoids drawing the centroid markers.
