Q: How to show vector map labels
GRASS 5.3
- After Importing the data, if a vector file run v.support option=build.
- Use the appropriate "display" command to show the lines or areas.
- Display the labels with d.vect.lines
- The labels will be horizontal on most displays, but can be printed rotated along the lines.
- The ps.map (Postscript print driver) supports rotation, so printing to a Postscript printer or file should rotate the labels.
GRASS 5.7 and 6.x
- Topology is automatically built
- Display the labels with d.vect (disp=attr attrcol=COLNAME)
- or user d.m display manager
- The ps.map (Postscript print driver) supports rotation, so printing to a Postscript printer or file should rotate the labels.
- For fine tuning label placement, use the v.label module. The use d.labels or ps.map to render the result.
