Psmap moldefjord example

• Back to the ps.map example script page

On this page are the commands used to create this geology map of Moldefjord, Norway by Willem van Mierlo, as seen on the cartography screenshots page.

Geological map of the islands of Dryna, Midøya, and Otrøya, Moldefjord, Norway

PostScript does not support vector transparency directly, so the GIMP was used to combine three ps.map output maps by adding them as multiple layers in the same GIMP image and adjusting the opacity.

• Note for future development: PDF versions 1.4 and newer support vector transparency.

• These commands make use of some of Willem's custom display symbols and north arrow EPS decorations which are not yet part of the standard GRASS distribution.
