[GRASS-dev] "add to display" when running module from the SHELL

GRASS GRASS developer

Hi,

···

in the GUI of modules we can select to add to display,

is there (or would there be) a possibility to do the same when running from the CLI/SHELL?

Thank you,

Yann

Thanks Martin,

I meant a flag in the module.

flag of the module? Which module? Ma

say all raster and imagery and vector modules that generate output map(s), I would like this(ese) map(s) to be added to the current stack in the current display, the same way it works in the GUI version of the modules (i.e. Check-box “Add created maps to layer tree”).

so, something like:

# new flag -a: Add new maps to display automaticaly
d.mon wx0 -a
v.random out=p1 n=1000 # new map added to display

?

But in this case you cannot control display parameters
(d.vect/d.rast). There is no layer tree to define properties
afterwards. I am not sure if such flag would make sense.

Now you need:

d.mon wx0
v.random ...
d.vect p1 ...

yes this is indeed a pickle.

maybe something like:

→ d.mon “get the selected wx display, if none, then d.mon wx0”

if exist and selected:
add output from this module to its “stack” (i.e. set of already run d.* commands)

→ v.random in=bla.vect out=blaout.vect -a

the -a flag in the module would take the actual selected monitor history of d.* commands and add one line with the “d.vect blaout.vect” at the end, and run the new history in it.

???
