Tom,

If you want to play around with TclTk a bit, you could simply add a line or
two in one of the currently existing menus (all in
$GISBASE/etc/gm/gmmenu.tcl) to do a specific task. For example, you could
add a menu entry that could have for its command: "v.surf.bspline
input=wstation_temp raster=tempmap type=bicubic column=temp"

This would take a file of vector weather station points named
"wstation_temp", with an attribute column named "temp", and use bicubic
interpolation to create a temperature surface named "tempmap"

Here is a bit of script that could be inserted into the raster menu to add a
submenu for doing weather-related raster modeling

{separator}
{cascad {[G_msg "Weather modeling"]} {} "" $tmenu {
   {command {[G_msg "temperature surface"]} {} "bicubic interpolation
           of weather station temperature data" {} -command {execute
           v.surf.bspline input=wstation_temp raster=tempmap type=bicubic
           column=temp }}
   {separator}
   {command {[G_msg "another menu entry"]} {} "put the help text here" {}
           -command {execute GRASSCOMMAND }}
}}

{separator} inserts a line separating menu items
{cascad... } creates a submenu
{command...} creates a menu entry that starts a command.

Maybe this can help you show how easy it is to make custom menu entries.
Hope this is helpful.

Thanks Michael,
This example is really clear and easy to do.
In 2 minutes I added some new commands to my tcl/tk interface... :slight_smile:

Really useful!
Compliment.

I'm glad it is useful. It's actually pretty easy to work with TclTk in this
way. You can just archive your custom menu file and add it in each time you
update GRASS.
