[GRASS-dev] "Complete basic cartography suite in GRASS GIS wxGUI Map Display"

GRASS GIS GRASS GIS developer

Hi,
I Am an undergrad. student from IIIT Hyderabad,India. I believe I have
good Programming Knowledge in languages like Python, C/C++. I have
Already Done Some Projects in these Languages. I have practical
knowledge in wxPython. I want to work on this Project as a pat of GSOC
2015. I want to know whether someone is already committed to this
Project or not? I also want to know how to get the mentor's contact
regarding this Project. I have some Technical Doubts which I would
like to ask them.
Thanks
Durgesh Pandey.

I think the best would be to keep this on this list. Others might contribute as well, then, not only the mentors.

Hi,

this sounds great. As you perhaps noticed students are encouraged [1] to show their skills by contributing to the project before applications are evaluated. OSGeo recommends [2] to do some bug fixing or implementation of small features. You can even try to implement some smaller things from the GSoC idea itself [3]. I selected some options which might be appropriate:

  • Store legend, scale bar, north arrow and text (and potentially others objects if added) in the workspace (ticket #2369).

  • Add units to legend as parameter to d.legend. Optionally add also title and description. Optionally also put units after each number, not just to one place in title area as it is now.

  • Add possibility to add any image to Map Display (as in Animation Tool, g.gui.animation). Use cases are organization logo and overview maps (insets).

  • Add background color to d.legend. Currently the legend has transparent background. Background rectangle should include all parts of the legend including (possible) title. Additional features include rounded corners, border and opacity settings.

You can select whatever you want but it should be something you are actually able to finish soon. You can also browse through bug tracker, components wxGUI and Dispaly [5, 6], to see other options to select from.

you please provide some approach and repository related to problem.

Once you have GRASS GIS source code from Subversion repository [1], you
will find d.legend source code in `display/d.legend` directory [2]. You
should compile GRASS GIS, so you have everything you need for development
[3].

d.legend is using GRASS Display library [4]. It would be best if you find
some display (d.*) module which is already drawing some rectangle, polygon
or area and get inspiration from there.

Please keep communication on the mailing list so other can contribute or

I don't know why svn says "Connection refused". checkout works for me now.
Aren't you behind some firewall? Do other Subversion repositories work for
you (e.g. from Source Forge and GitHub)?

the problem is attached in this email.

Please, if you have error messages which are short text, just include the

Hi,

this sounds great. As you perhaps noticed students are encouraged [1]
to show their skills by contributing to the project before applications are
evaluated. OSGeo recommends [2] to do some bug fixing or implementation of
small features. You can even try to implement some smaller things from the
GSoC idea itself [3]. I selected some options which might be appropriate:

* Store legend, scale bar, north arrow and text (and potentially
others objects if added) in the workspace (ticket #2369).

* Add units to legend as parameter to d.legend. Optionally add also
title and description. Optionally also put units after each number, not
just to one place in title area as it is now.

* Add possibility to add any image to Map Display (as in Animation
Tool, `g.gui.animation`). Use cases are organization logo and overview maps
(insets).

* Add background color to d.legend. Currently the legend has
transparent background. Background rectangle should include all parts of
the legend including (possible) title. Additional features include rounded
corners, border and opacity settings.

You can select whatever you want but it should be something you are
actually able to finish soon. You can also browse through bug tracker,
components wxGUI and Dispaly [5, 6], to see other options to select from.
