[GRASS-user] ps.map rotatecolumn argument

[Vincent Bain]

Hello Hamish,
thank you for your reply, I knew you were the author of this
feature ;-), read this in a former post.

(I had to cope the whole day with ice in pipes, so sorry for the late
reaction...)

I run grass on a 64bit linux system (debian), freshly updated 6.4
version from svn. Angles are expressed in degrees counterclockwise from
East.

I tried to reproduce the problem on North Carolina dataset(1). But
unfortunately for me... It works !
Note : the default database settings in north carolina dataset link
vectors to dbf driver. In my case, vector maps are related to pg driver.
May it be the source of the problem ?

Another detail : the fieldname containing my rotation values is
'angle' ; could it cause a failure in your c script ?

Thank you in advance,
Vincent

wrote a ps.map file with this argument:

        vpoints points_of_interest
        	color black
        eps /usr/local/grass-6.4.2svn/etc/paint/patterns/cross_normal.eps
        	rotatecolumn elev_m
        	size 1
        end

symbols appear correctly rotated on the output.
