[GRASS-user] Georectify problems in wxGui & gis.m

Hi Folks

  1. Can anybody tell me how to get the Georectify module working in any of the guis at all please? Does it still work at all?? Would much prefer wxGui.

I have tried using the wxGUI, and followed through the wizard, but when I click on the ‘Finish’ button, nothing happens on the screen, but in the Command Console I get a C++ error assertion message telling me I probably want to use a combo box?! (please see attached file). Is this module broken, and any plans to repair? Or is it me…

I have also tried to use the old gis.m gui, and that doesn’t seem to work anymore either. Oddly, for this version I only need to specify the map I want to rectify and not the map that already has coordinates, so I presume I use what I have already displayed in the map window before starting the wizard. This time, I do get the map I want to georectify displayed, and can click on it to select a GCP which enters the coordinates into the Manage GCPs dialog. However, when I click on the pointer icon in the map display window (which I understand I need to do to set my GCPs there), I do not get a cross-hairs cursor, and no matter where I click I cannot get any coordinates transferred from the map display window, into the Manage GCPs dialog.

The error message I get as a pop-up in gis.m when I try to click with the pointer in the map display window to reference my map that has coordinates is:

Application error

Error: can’t read “b1coords”: No such variable

I’ve seen the post of some poor soul having the same georeferencing problems on a Mac, who was told to use the command line version, having been advised that ‘I never find the gui version works very well’. This seems to be a common response on these threads. Someone(s) has spent a lot of time and effort creating these gui interfaces, and I would like to use them as a quick way to learn the program and image processing, rather than getting bogged down in the details of scripting just now. These features must originally have worked, as there are many posts on georeferencing.

I am much puzzled how other of your users are reporting more advanced problems, as I can’t even get started with Georectify in either wxGui or gis.m!!

  1. Also, how do I get only posts related to my queries sent to my mailbox, rather than all of everybody else’s, as I am getting swamped by your postings. I would be interested in other folks’, but would prefer to read through the list on the forum at leisure. Can we have one list to search back through, rather than selections a month at a time please (Grass has been going for quite a few months, so many months to search back through…)

Much thanks

Brolly.

Please try a more recent version of GRASS (GRASS 6.4.3RC2, GRASS7).
This Mac-specific error should be fixed already.

I am using Windows Vista SP2 and Grass 6.4.2 (latest stable release).

The attachment I posted with my query is I believe all I have for the wxGUI,

sorry, but I can't see any attachment here.

pasted from the console window, which begins with the text 'Traceback'.
Presume this is what you need?

Just copy content of Command Console output window (wxGUI).

this bug has been fixed in GRASS 6.4.3. You need to update you GRASS
installation. Unfortunately GRASS 6.4.3 has not been released yet.

as a quick fix, edit `C:\PROGRA~1\QUANTU~1\apps\grass\grass-6.4.2\etc\wxpy
thon\gui_modules\toolbars.py` and remove `style = wx.CB_READONLY` from
wx.Choice constructor.
