[gradsusr] Displaying name of a shapefile on map

[itesh dash]

Hi,

I have been looking for the same answer for a quite a while, but was
unsuccessful. However, you can try something like  this.

lon1= 'your lon'
lat1= 'your lat'
'q w2xy 'lon1' 'lat1
say result
x1 = subwrd(result,3)
y1 = subwrd(result,6)
'draw mark '3' 'x1' 'y1' '0.07
'draw string 'x1-0.15' 'y1' 'locationname

Hope this helps.
