[GRASS-user] d.mon displays box on startup

   Just built the latest release from 7.7.svn (I think it's 73396) and when I
run 'd.mon start=wx0' I see a vertical rectangle with a blue border in the
center (see attached screenshot.png). d.erase does nothing to it and trying
to print it as content fails; there's nothing to print.

   Any ideas on where this originates and how to remove it?

   Just for grins, I started grass7.7.svn with the GUI. Now the blue-bordered
rectangle fills the map display window top-to-bottom and almost completely
side-to-side.

That’s the computational region limits which are now visible by default in Map display and wx monitors.

However, I agree that an option to make it invisible as before would make sense.

You can open a ticket for this

Just disable it at left bottom of the display window → the trick is that you need to first switch to “Show comp. extent” which isn’t obvious:

Not needed :slight_smile:

But I think that the “Show computational extent” should always be there. Maybe a ticket for that wish?

This is a great feature, but I was wondering why it turns red on zoom in/out.

I think it changes color depending if you are zoomed inside or outside of the region. I find this behavior little bit confusing, perhaps just having one color would be enough, and maybe don’t show it when you are zoomed inside?

Ok, so blue means the current display is the full computational region (OK). Red means the current display is a subset of the region (zoomed in, OK). What about when you zoom out and the display contains and is bigger than the computational region? It is still red. Not blue even if you are seeing the full region. The last case confuses me. When is it red or blue?

Thanks,

in r73826 the settings was changed to show comp. region extent in red
color only regardless display and computation extent position. If no
objection I will do backport to g76 release branch in next days.
Question is whether comp. region extent should be displayed by
default. The behaviour has been changed accordingly [1], but
unfortunately there was no feedback. Any opinion (since it affects
7.6.0 release)?

I’d like to see the region displayed by default. Usually the first thing I do is show the computational region in the map display. It’s such a fundamental part of how GRASS works…

So how does it work now in one color?

  1. display == full comp region: red box

  2. display > and contains full comp region: red box smaller than display

  3. display < and inside full comp region: no box at all? (can be confusing with cases 4 & 5) or red box (can be confusing with case 1). I think we need two colors in this case? Actual comp region borders red, Display borders within comp region blue (maybe, switching blue and red would be better?). For example, completely inside (not crossing any comp region boundaries) blue box. Looking at the east comp region boundary: vertical line in red, top-left, bottom-left, and left in blue. Again, I think if we use red and blue, it would be better to use blue for comp region borders and red for partially/contained borders.

  4. display > and does not contain full comp region: no box

  5. display < and outside full comp region: no box

Maybe, this figure is easier to understand. blue for comp region and red for partial version.

Black: display
Blue: full comp region
Red: partial intersection of display and full comp region

In this color scheme, it’s very clear what we’re looking at in the display.

Hi all,

+1 for showing computational region by default! It is a super handy feature :slight_smile:

Regarding the different colors, I do not have a very strong opinion. I was already used to blue for full region extent coincident with display and red when display is different from region extent.

Case 3b proposed, IIUC, would mean that display will have incomplete lines and that seems more confusing in my view. I would suggest that (if implemented like this) 3b is shown as 3a.

Actually, 3b has a complete rectangle (NW in red, SE in blue).

I overlooked the blue part. Still, IMHO, case 3b it’s confusing.
