This looks like a very useful tool, and it works perfectly (running grass 7 on Ubuntu 12.04), thanks!
If I may make a feature request. Would it be very difficult to implement an option where rather then splitting the area between the two maps, the same area is shown for both maps (i.e., mirrored maps). In that option, moving one map would move the other map too. This makes it easier to see changes between two maps in detail. In case my explanation isn’t clear, a nice example is the MIrrorMap plug-in for QGIS.

Seems clear to me. I added it to map swipe wiki page, you can edit it.
I remember someone on mailing list was asking about similar
functionality - synchronize display region extent of more Map Displays
- could it be what you mean?

I'm not sure that this should be part of the swipe tool. I'd rather see this as a general feature of Map Displays, i.e. the option to linked any number of Map Displays so that when you pan / zoom in one the other(s) adjust automagically. Then again, I'm only the one asking, not doing ...

I am also just asking... contributing code is unfortunately way out of my league.
I am somewhat indifferent to whether synchronized display of multiple maps would be a general feature of map display or part of the swipe tool. I can imagine that it would be easier to make it initially part of a separate tool, but I am no developer so I could be completely wrong.

Maybe it would be easier to develop a separate tool for this because
otherwise it would probably need some refactoring. Map Swipe was meant
for a different purpose and adding this new functionality would cause
some problems, for example what should it do with the slider?. I would
prefer to put this functionality to Map Displays because it seems
natural to me to use it there.

I added the 'mirror' option to the map swipe tool (r54232). It was
much easier than to implement it for map displays.
Also, don't forget that map swipe can be launched as a module g.gui.mapswipe

Just tested it. Nice !
However, IIUC, it is not the same thing as zooming to the same view in two maps, as here you adjust the maps automatically so that one "fits" right next to the other, i.e. that there is a continuation from one map to the other. But I cannot center on the same spot in both maps, or ?

Hi,
2012/12/7 Markus Neteler <neteler@osgeo.org>:
in recent GRASS 7 there are at time:
- g.gui
- g.gui.animation
- g.gui.gmodeler
- g.gui.mapswipe
- g.gui.rlisetup
which you can launch from command line.
small note: there is still one unsolved issue, wx.App is started in
the main thread of the module. So `g.gui.*` module waits for the GUI
termination.
Standard modules launched from command line have the same behavior.
They block command line.
I thought that the current way is the right one. All (standard)
applications launched in *nix command line behave like this. I thought
g.gui (not g.gui.*) us an exception to the rule (e.g, gnome-open or
firefox don't block command line, too).

right, `g.gui` or `g.manual` are the exceptions. I think that other
`g.gui.*` should behave in the same way, so don't block the command
line.

I am not sure if you are talking about the 'swipe' mode (the original
one) or the 'mirror' mode (the new one).
Please see the screenshots on wiki page, I added one with the mirror mode.

The new mode is not tested much so if it is not working for you,
report me the problems.
I guess I must not have updated the code correctly. A new svn up and make gives me the dropdown list I didn't see before. Now I get mirror mode and it works as expected, thanks !
Maybe we should rename this to something that shows that it is a general tool for comparing two maps ?

I already got used to that name but surely we can discuss it. Still I
consider the 'swipe' functionality more important and interesting (and
also more difficult to implement).

I clearly appreciate the work you put in this, but I think naming should aim the use by users not the difficulty for developers to implement the functionality
I don't want to launch a long discussion on this, and you're the developer, but your great work has already got me dreaming about other functionalities that might be nice to have in there:
- a query tool that when you click on a spot in one of the maps gives you the info for both
- allow to display vector maps, not only raster (including one of each)
- a button that launches Michael's new histogram tool to directly show the histograms of the two maps

Of course, that's why i put it into brackets.

This is already on the wish list on wiki.
