Whilst testing the OSGeo Live DVD (vm version) I followed the instructions
to further test the installation. I am not a user of the wxGui so it was
interesting. Errors or improvements:

1) In section 'Using wxPython graphical user interface: Digitizing: line
3' I would suggest that zoom is done to the elevation map after the
addition of the ortho map (the ortho overlies it anyway). This way the
selection of a house to digitise will be in the map area when 3D vector
and visualisation is done. The first house I picked was outside of the
elevation map and subsequently wasn't in the 3D visualisation, so had to
start again.

2) Same section: line 5, there is no Tools menu. I looked for while (I
could have used v.digit but wanted to follow the instructions as a new
user would). I suggest text 'Select Digitise from the drop-down box in the
top-right corner of the map window (currently set at 2DView)'. Unless I am
missing something obvious!

3) Same section: line 8, very minor but for consistency, "Quit" instead of
"Close". I could change this myself but as other bits needed verification,
have left it here.

Hope you don't think I am being too pedantic,

Cheers

John

I've tested this a little bit in Wingrass.

under
http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/HowToTestGrass6#SeeAlso

there are some examples for raster, vector, image processing and
interpolation actions (grasstestrast.txt, grasstestvect.txt,
grasstestinterp.txt, grasstestimg.txt).

most of them are working under Wingrass.

if you are assuming in the windows world the default is the WinGrass-WxGUI
(only with the wx-gui-commandline and without a msys-command-line or any
other command-line), following are not working in the examples:

- d.erase: it's not implemented in the wx-gui-command-line, you have to
use the erase-button in the wx-gui

- there are some examples where ''echo'' is used (e.g. echo "634886 224328
1"|v.in.ascii out=fire_pt fs=space), this isn't working from the wx-gui-
command-line
