[GRASS-dev] Clicking on a text layer in GIS manager gives tcl error

Hi,

If I add a text layer to gis.m and click on it, I get the following error:

invalid command name "<<<<<<<"
invalid command name "<<<<<<<"
    while executing
"<<<<<<< dtext.tcl"
    (procedure "GmDtext::options" line 3)
    invoked from within
"GmDtext::options $id $opt"
    ("dtext" arm line 2)
    invoked from within
"switch $type {
        raster {
            GmRaster::options $id $opt
        }
        vector {
            GmVector::options $id $opt
        }
   ..."
    (procedure "GmTree::select" line 14)
    invoked from within
"GmTree::select $node"
    (procedure "GmTree::selectn" line 7)
    invoked from within
"GmTree::selectn .mainframe.frame.pw1.f0.frame.pgs.fpage_1.sw.tree_1 [string range [lindex [.mainframe.frame.pw1.f0.frame.pgs.fpage_1.sw.tree_1:cmd get..."
    (command bound to event)

Can anyone confirm this error? I'm using Grass 6.3, cvs updated Novmeber 30th.

Hmm, I didn't get any cvs errors during update. Should I blow away my cvs directory and do a fresh checkout instead?

Your sources have conflicts from a cvs update (the update failed and the
"<<<<<<<" are the lines where they were conflicts during cvs update).

You need to correct these (and the method depends on whether you have
local changes or not).

I tried this with a cvs version of 6.3 I compiled yesterday and cannot
duplicate it. The "<<<<<<<" command name looks very strange. I can't imagine
where this is coming from.

Michael,

As Thierry mentioned, deleting my grass6 directory and doing a fresh cvs checkout solved the problem.

BTW, text positioning works great! Thanks,

~ Eric.

Good. I'm happy that the text positioning works. I like it. Have you tried
the legend and scalebar mouse positioning too? Do they work for you?

Hmm, I didn't get any cvs errors during update.

Conflicts are only reported once; if you miss them the first time, you
won't get any warning on subsequent updates.

Tip: update with:

  cvs update 2>&1 | fgrep -v 'cvs server: Updating '

This makes it much easier to spot "useful" messages.

Should I blow away my cvs directory and do a fresh checkout instead?

Although it's now moot, just deleting the file in question and
updating that file (or directory) will suffice.

Oh yes, those work great as well. The text, scale, and legend positioning tools is great for putting together diagrams, figures, etc. The more I can do in Grass, the less I have to rely on e.g. Inkscape to do the final text tweaking, which saves quite a bit of time.
