ps.map doesn’t accept more than 10 ‘labels’ instructions

[clerici]

To check with Spearfish data:

v.label labels=archlab map=archsites column=str1

ps.map in=label.txt out=archlab.ps

label.txt (with 11 labels instructions):

labels archlab
end
labels archlab
end
labels archlab
end
labels archlab
end
labels archlab
end
labels archlab
end
labels archlab
end
labels archlab
end
labels archlab
end
labels archlab
end
labels archlab
end

The error message is:

ERROR: archlab in esercizi : no more label files allowed

With less than 11 labels instructions the ps map is successfully created.

see

source:grass/trunk/ps/ps.map/r_labels.c​

and MAXLABELS in

source:grass/trunk/ps/ps.map/labels.h​

just edit labels.h to however big you want it, and recompile. (how many do you want?)

since the "labels" files are just text, to work around it you can just go into $MAPSET/paint/labels/ and do

cat * > all_labels

to combine them all into a single labels file. (they will remember thier own font sizes, colors, etc)

max number of label instructions bumped to 50 in devbr6 and trunk. (r43608,9)

now backported to 6.4svn as well. closing bug.
