Is there a way to access ps.map in python?

Question

i am wondering whether its possible using python interface to load layers and edit them in Print/Cartographic Composer without displaying, and finally export to PDF?

something that can be done via ArcPy (ArcGIS python module).

thanks for any inputs!

Answer 1

There are (at least) two ways:

• Make use of the code for the WxGUI Cartographic Composer
• Interface directly to ps.map with the GRASS-Python API

Note that an improved Python API is under development in the current Google Summer of Code
