Hi,

I am planning to develop a DataCatalog or GRASS GIS Manager. Design of the gui module is almost finished.
please view the screens and give me a feedback to continue coding the module in wxpython.
I will start coding after getting response from GRASS community otherwise it will be wastage of time.
So please send your valuable comments on the link specified below

Hi Mohammed,

i like it !!!

maybe is OT here … but i’ve some ideas to share with you :

i’m working to code an “interaction” between ossimplanet and grass.
i already did a gui interface for it, but i used pyqt … and this is not good to have a full integration in grass.
see :

http://web.me.com/epiesasha/PlanetSasha/Project.html

  • actually i’m finish to work on the gdal-ossim plug-in to have better support for ogr-grass vector rendering inside ossimplanet (raster support is already ok)
    for now grass vector are rendered in ossimplanet with a fixed color , line width and point size (while polygons are not filled)
    the changes on the code will give the ability to set custom settings for each layer.
    The final target are simple grass-python scripts to add-remove from grass to ossimplanet both raster & vectort layers

the comand line syntax to use the scripts is like :

r.planet.py -a map=geology (add a map)
r.planet.py -r map=geology (remove a map)

similar syntax for vector layers.

(options are the tcp port number and tcp host address, if not assigned default values are used)

i’d like the idea to run this scripts in a simple and fast way directly from wx-gui,
like add an action “send to ossimplanet” using : dx-click on a layer name in the legend → open a contextual menu → run the action

obviously this means to change a bit the scripts reading host and port number from a “preference file” (we can generate it from the main grass-config-options )

any comments about the proposed idea are really welcome.

thanks,
Massimo.

Hi Mohammed,

This looks like a very useful tool. Perhaps a method to view and edit metadata would be worth adding to the todo list?

Regards,
John

Hi

I look more or less your work and I think you shall explain something:

- as I remember you first conception was graphical manager of Grass-data. that what you presented it is new completely GUI conception (very interesting) so what you plan. Completely new gui is rather extensive work I guess.?

- what it you have presented: it are mockups (screens created in some graphic programs, conception) or something working or almost working?

- second as I can see you use components of existing wx-gui. what is will be: fork of existing wx-python gui or warper on existing wx-python-gui? If the first I assume you plan to create alternative to existing proposition with its own path of development int the future or create warper which will be change with its base. It is important for you. If it is warper you shall contact with wxgui developers to synchronize your work (if they accept it).

- conception of integrated one gui looks interesting alternative. But there are some ides which seems be difficult to implement, for example browsing in tabs with possibilities of change mapsets and location on-the-fly. So I assume your proposition will allow to browse maps from different locations and mapsets in the same session. Did you implemented it or it is only idea?

So first try to explain this and share your code, than we can discuss
regards
Jarek
