I have modified r.reclass and r.recode in 6.3-CVS to force interactive
term mode if they are run without arguements. The GUI wrapper scripts
should not be affected. Let me know if they don't.
A couple of potentially useful enhancements:
1. Add a rules= option to r.reclass which accepts the name of a file
containing reclass rules.2. Add a button to the standard dialogs which allows stdin to be
redirected from a user-specified file.Either of those would allow r.reclass to be usable without a terminal.
this is exactly what Michael's two wrapper scripts provide.
There's still the general issue of what we do about
terminal-interactive modules. So long as at least one such module
exists, the issue remains.Either we decide to "kill them all",
not until functionality is ported to something newer, or analysis method
is conisdered obsolete. (does anyone use the i.class stuff?)
and declare all use of stdin to be a bug,
stdin is very useful for scripting use. the problem is exclusive input
via stdin (or interactive term) and no option to take from a file. you
can have input from a file as the primary method and still allow the
module to take data from stdin.
or we need some way for a module to indicate that it needs (or may
need) a terminal. The latter is complicated by the fact that a module
may only require a terminal in certain circumstances.
It's not a full solution at all, but see above r.reclass commit.
Comments? Please. I'd *really* like to get this issue dealt with; it's
been coming up since the days of d.m (maybe even since tcltkgrass).
trying to get a list of remaining modules:
r.le - in the process of being replaced by r.li
r.digit - just a frontend to r.in.poly, easily replaced by a wxPython
utility (integrate with wxPython version of v.digit as g.digitize?)
r.watershed - all sorts of interactive menus in shed/ which I'm not sure
how to access.
r.support - being worked on by Brad
i.* are the main apps without a solution in progress.
