[GRASS-user] mapping interface

GRASS GRASS user
1

I want to develop a mapping application using python for avalanche flow simulation which takes a lot of user inputs. I do not want to go through wxGUI as the user is not interested in options shown by its GUI. Is there any documentation about 2d/3d mapping interface classes/modules which I can use. If these are not documented I can help in it.

Thanks
Shash

Please take a look at the WPS option in GRASS GIS 7:

Thanks Markus!

It is close to what I was trying to do but still I would love someday GRASS to have a modular GUI especially 3D which can be embedded in any app within few minutes.

Anyway thanks once again.

Not sure I understand exactly what you are looking for, but have you looked at the toolboxes concept [1] for customizing the GRASS GUI ?

Or are you looking for a separate GUI just for the 3D viewer (wxnviz) ?

Something like a g.gui.nviz command [2] ?

I see, so I misunderstood your initial request. If wxPython is in
general ok for you, check also

http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass-addons/grass7/gui/wxpython
-> newgui
-> wx.metadata
-> wx.rdigit
-> wx.stream
-> wx.wms

There is some basic documentation for wxGUI API, you can get it by

executing

make sphinxdoc

in GRASS source code. Then open a file

docs/html/wxgui/index.html

in the distribution (dist...) directory.

You will find there also the programmer's documentation of toolboxes
mentined by Moritz. But note that this API can change any time. You are
welcome to use it and even contribute back some improvements. Look also at
source code for g.gui.iclass and g.gui.vdigit. Let us know how it goes.
