hi,
2007/2/2, Michael Barton <michael.barton@asu.edu>:
Jachym,
I like the concept and it is close to what I've been doing. I've attached a
screenshot of it. The main difference is that after consideration, I made
the choicebook (varient of notebook) for the display at the top of the
hierarchy and added a notebook with tree controls and console for a display
to each page. This seems easier to track controls for each display. My
earlier version looked more like yours. One nice thing about using a choice
book is that you don't have to worry about space for tabs as you add more
pages (i.e., displays).
I like the idea to have direct access to each monitor. Yours approach
means that you have the double click - first at the choice book and
than at the desired monitor... I would prefer the panel approach also
because you can add "x" (close) button to the top of each panel.
Maybe this is a topic for GRASS survey?
I like the idea of a command line at the bottom. This should make a lot of
people happy too.
I added your screenshot to the wiki [1] , so we can compare
side-by-side each proposal and maybe piece the best peaces from all
together.
