[GRASS-user] gis.m: file ppm not found - Fixed (I hope)

I think I tracked this down. It seems to be the a problem in latlon regions
resulting from a recent fix I did to deal with changes in the behavior of
g.region. I think I fixed it. I just commited this to the cvs.

The same would happen for rasters if the map name for the
layer doesn't match a valid raster map. Any idea about the
validity of your maps or the name or your mapset?

I did not change any map name in this mapset. For expample, just this
morning started Grass 6.3, opened the raster and got an errormessage, I did
not have this problem yesterday, the Grass worked with the same map without
problem. The same is with the vectors, last Sunday I did a lot of
intersection between different vectors - once the errormessage came after
the 15th redraw command, next time after the second one and then worked fine
until lunch, after lunch three times, then worked fine for two hours, etc.

I should note that you don't have to recompile GRASS to test this. Just grab
the new mapcanvas.tcl file I committed. Quite the GUI. Drop the new file
into $GISBASE/etc/gm, replacing the old mapcanvas.tcl, and restart the GUI
(gis.m& from the command line).

Yes, the failure condition has gone for the latlon region.

Thank you very much!

Good day all;

Being the type of folk that really only effectively learn
by reading and doing, I'm trying to get a fix on these texts;

Open Source GIS: A GRASS GIS Approach
by Markus Neteler and Helena Mitasova
(Sep 21, 2004)

I know a new edition of this book is due, but I was wondering if
this book is current/topical enough to be useful?

Also, is anyone familiar with

Distributed Hydrologic Modeling Using GIS
by B.E. Vieux (Dec 20, 2004)

And whether or not this text actually has
Grass specific examples that are relevant
to a modern Grass system?

Doing hydro modeling is my primary interest.

All clues greatly appreciated.

Chip,

There's lots of good stuff, still in, the 2004 edition. I think only Markus & Helena can give you a good answer for when the next ed. will be out. I think it depends on how desperate you are for GRASS info. relative to how long you can wait for the next edition — 6 months?? I have found the old edition very useful; on the otherhand, the vector/point handling and GUI are very different,

I'm using it as I learn GRASS for Windows. I'm using the cygwin build and
QGIS 0.8. Not everything works in each version, but I've found that if
I work between the two, most things work---*.sites commands don't though.
