[gradsusr] Drawing something (line, point,...) over the map

Fri Aug 10 10:08:22 EDT 2012

Tahereh,

Try this:

Set line 2 1 6
lon1= 120.6
lat1=  8.3
q w2xy lon1 lat1
x1 = subwrd(result,3)
y1 = subwrd(result,6)
lon2= 119.3
lat2=  9
q w2xy lon2 'lat2
x2 = subwrd(result,3)
y2 = subwrd(result,6)
draw line x1 y1 x2 y2

Hope it helps.

Dear Jennifer,

I did it but it didn't work. Maybe I didn't do that correctly. Could you
please explain more. As an example here is my work : I would like to
show points (8.3 120.6) and (9 119.3) and also the line between them
over my maps.

Latitude

longitude

8.3

120.6

9

119.3

Regards,

Tahereh
