I have two vector layers (a country boundary polygon and part of an administrative area map - also polygons). I am trying to automate creating a PNG file of the admin areas overlaying the country boundary therefore all work has to be command-line (in a bash script). I've tried this two ways - using the d.mon start=png method and also the ps.map method as described below. The d.mon method appears to generate the image with only one vector map (not both) and only colors the borders - it won't use the fill_color setting. The ps.map method seems to work but assumes the image is on a sheet of paper so there's a ton of extra white-space. I'd like to use d.mon but I can use ps.map if someone could please let me know how to export only the computational region without all the extra 'paper' in the image.
