Bounding period, April, 22 - May, 22

I got in touch with my mentors. We discussed some possibilities for development.
I installed Ubuntu, GRASS and QtCreator on my laptop.
I got little bit stucked with QtCreator Debugger, but with my mentors help it works now.
I looked at the bug #24941 and did a little research on it.
I fixed the bug #24362. X-axis ticks labels now work in d.histogram.

Week 1, May, 23-27

  1. What did you get done this week?

I worked on the module d.northarrow.
I solved the ticket #30183 and added option for custom north-arrow label.
I solved the ticket #30194 and added more north-arrow symbols.
I solved the ticket #30315 and added option for north-arrow symbol rotation.
I fixed the bug #12426 module now works in Lat-Long projection too but I need discuss the solution with my mentors.

I worked on the module d.barscale.
I solved the ticket #30167, added option length for custom barscale size, option segment for setting number of segments of barscale,
added flag -u to display full unit name/only symbol. I need discuss the solution with my mentors.
I solved the ticket #30208 and added flag for displaying a capital N with a simple arrow over it next to the barscale.

I worked on the module d.grid.
I solved the ticket #30178 and added option to choose background color of grid labels.

  1. What do you plan on doing next week?
    Next week I want to continue with others d.* modules and look on d.text and d.vect modules.

  2. Are you blocked on anything?
    I don’t think I am blocked on anything but I work in slow pace because all d.* modules are written in C which I have few experience with.
