cairo driver: labels are not rendered

[martinl]

Cairo driver does not display any labels (PNG driver seems to work). E.g.

d.vect map=geodetic_swwake_pts@PERMANENT display=shape,cat

FWIW, it works for me in 7.0; e.g. (spearfish):

d.vect fields display=shape,cat

In the North Carolina dataset,

d.vect boundary_county attrcol=NAME

doesn't work for me nowhere, from 6.4.0RC5 through to 7, any display driver. In 7, I can't even give an attrcol, that option in the wxGUI behaves as if it's disabled.

d.vect boundary_county display=shape,cat

works.

Applies to wxGUI only, not to tcltk.

the above example is missing disp=attr

e.g., works in 6.5 xmon:

 #spearfish
 d.vect archsites disp=attr attrcol=str1

perhaps (attrcol->answer != NULL) should switch on disp=attr if it was not already given??

Hmph. Sorry for the noise, everything is fine. Except grass7, still can't set option attrcol, also when setting disp=attr first.

Maybe you want the column to be remembered but temporarily switch off label display?

Probably solved with r56886?

if there ever was a bug here, it's fixed now.
