[GRASS-dev] NVIZ panel menu

Hi,

still on the 3D faces theme,

in the NVIZ panel menu we have:

...
----------------
Surface
Vector Lines
Vector Points
Volumes
----------------
...

The "Vector Lines" panel actually controls 3D faces as well.

I was going to change it to be "Vector Lines and Surfaces", but
then the menu reads:

----------------------------
Surface
Vector Lines and Surfaces
Vector Points
Volumes
----------------------------

... too many "Surfaces". I'm at a loss as to what name it.

e.g.
----------------------------
Raster Surfaces
Raster Volumes
Vector Points
Vector Lines and Surfaces
----------------------------

???
anyone have a bright idea?

AFAIK vector areas are still unsupported in NVIZ?
Will "v.type type=boundary,face" work around that?

what about
Vector Lines and 3D Polygons
?

Surfaces is sort of reserved for raster maps in NVIZ.

e.g.
----------------------------
Raster Surfaces
Raster Volumes
Vector Points
Vector Lines and Surfaces

mine above? :slight_smile:

You mean that "soils" in Spearfish is rendered as boundaris
only?

I don't think so because faces are usually 3D (so v.drape?).
But I am not sure.
