[GRASSLIST:8388] ps.map resolution

[Ian MacMillan]

Hi all, I don't think this has been discussed on the mailing list 
before, sorry if it has.  Is there any way to increase the resolution 
of a raster using ps.map?

  As near as I can tell, all rasters come out at 72 dpi.  My work-around 
so far has been to use ps.map, then double, triple, or quadruple my 
scale on a huge page, then use some other software to scale that back 
down to increase the resolution of the raster within the postscript 
file.  This gets cumbersome for large maps.

One used to be able to mess around in $GISBASE/etc/paint/ps.devices so 
that you could add or delete different paper sizes with their 
resolutions I believe, but that is no longer an option it seems with 
ps.map.  Looking at the paper.h file of the source, it seems that the 
preset page sizes do not have a resolution option either.

Using d.out.whatever can yield the same resolution as the screen 
however the scale can't be set.

Any ideas?

Using 6.0.1 cvs on a mac.

Cheers,
Ian
