[GRASS-user] ps.map: rectangle over map border?

[Vincent Bain]

Hello Nikos,
Not sure to understand your issue, so my answer might be off-target :

perhaps you can have a look at the output ps file. If it's only a matter
of display order, you can rearrange successive instructions within the
file in order to have your background laying over the border.
