While any number of vector maps can be drawn, ps.map will only let you draw one raster image or RGB image set per map.

• If you want to show two or more overlapping raster maps you need to combine them with the r.patch module or r.mapcalc's '#' color operator.

(see also the r.his and r.composite modules)

• If you want to show a number of raster maps side by side in a paneled figure you will have to do it in a two step process. The first step is to create each panel as an EPS file, the second step is to include these EPS files in the ps.map command file. Here is an example script demonstrating this.
