psbasemap - annotations: separators?

[Maarten Vanneste]

All,

I sometimes get requests from our engineers to show UTM coordinates in
basemaps in somewhat more easy to read formats, e.g., by using a space as a
1000 separator

7 123 456 instead of 7123456

I did not find a straightforward solution with D_FORMAT or other. Any
suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Maarten

No such option, see the UTM example for one way to increase readability. Otherwise, you could write a script that would replace (#######) with (# ### ###) in the PS file. Finally, you could fill out a new feature request on the tracker.
