[GRASSLIST:10760] Re: draw gps co-ordinates with a varying circle around them

You can use the custom breaks option. This is not exactly what you are
asking about, but it might be close enough.

Hi Michael,

On the subject of d.vect.thematic and drawing circles of varying size around
points [perhaps not the best place to jump into this question], is there any
way to have d.vect.thematic display points graduated according to exact
values (e.g., diameters from an attribute column) rather than according to
intervals, std. devs., etc.? A while back Hamish wrote this option into
ps.map and I find it extremely useful.
