[GRASS-user] grass 6.3.0 OS X leopard no fill color polygons?

[Brandon M. Gabler]

Greetings all, and Happy Holidays,

I am helping to install grass for a colleague who has one of the new  
intel macs running leopard. He installed first the OpenOSX GRASS, and  
then the most recent 6.3.0-3-Leo Kyngesbury build, which is the one  
he is currently running.

All seems to work smoothly so far - great aqua interface!

But there is one problem with the display of vector polygons as  
boundaries only, without fill. On older versions, there was a simple  
checkbox for 'Fill areas' in the options for a vector layer. This is  
no longer present in the options, and under the color tab there are  
only various color pickers for the fill, lacking a 'no color' option  
as far as I can tell. How cam vector polys be displayed in this new  
version as just boundaries, no fill? Is it a combination of the  
shape, line, boundary, area boxes? We tried some of those, but the  
display still shows the filled polygon with a centroid. Perhaps it is  
a refresh problem? Thanks much for any help with this.

Best,
Brandon
