Hi all.
Some spare time finally allows me to test the new python gui. I compiled
- -with-python fom CVS, and tried starting with grass63 -wxpython, but
this is not recognized.
I have python-wxversion, python-glade2 and python-gtk2 installed in my
system. Should I also have something else?
Thanks foir helping.

Yes, you need the actual GUI code, which isn't in CVS but in a
separate subversion repository:

  svn co https://grasssvn.itc.it/svn/grassaddons/trunk/grassaddons/gui

It isn't ready for use yet.

Hi Glynn.
Thanks for this. However:
# ls gui/wxpython/
archive CVS gism.py gm.wxp grassgui.py grass-interface.dtd
Makefile mapdisp.py render.py scripts
So at least something seems to be on CVS already?
All the best.

Hello,

I have been toying with creating 3D surfaces from my vector data (contour lines) matched to my AirPhotos out of interest.

My vector file has a category “ELEVATION” with all the z values in meters.

Now, when I try to run v.surf.rst I receive this output:

DBMI-Postgres driver error:
Cannot select:
SELECT cat, ELEVATION FROM w0124.contour
ERROR: column “cat” does not exist
LINE 1: SELECT cat, ELEVATION FROM w0124.contour
^

Reading lines from vector map …
Database record for cat 1 not found
…

It is true I do not have this column “cat” in my w0124.contour table.

I am interested in understanding what this column “cat” is used for and some more information on how I should be addressing this issue.

Thank you.

That version is somewhat out of date (the last update was Feb 2) and
incomplete.

These are old (last summer/fall) early prototype tests of pieces.

As Glynn said, the current development is in the GRASS Addons svn
repository. As I understand it, all of the GRASS cvs will soon migrate to
the svn. At that time, we'll reintegrate the current wxgrass development
code with the GRASS source tree.

To create a DEM from contour lines, you might try

v.to.rast + r.surf.contour

see the r.surf.contour help page

A agree with this. We will wait for GRASS to be in subversion too,
than we can easilly merge. The version of gism.py in CVS is really
old.

You have to download and use the subversion version.. Use means

cd grassaddons/gui
python gism.py

Some presentation about what is in the subversion now:

Nice slide show :slight_smile:

A few comments:
1) The wizard was very nice, but some of the fields looked very cramped,
like the EPSG selection box, mostly it was just scrollbars.. Perhaps a
few more rows would help to make it clearer?
2) I like how you can use a georeferenced file to set up an initial
region :slight_smile:
3) Map display looks familiar, but yet fresh. Nicely done, and the
detachable tool bar is a definite bonus!
4) GIS manager looks very modern. Nice to have the command output in the
same window :slight_smile:
5) Can the command output be made so that you can choose your own font?

All in all I was impressed (again) by the way you are taking the GUI.
Nice work guys!

You can do this in the TclTk startup already.

I just finished looking through the slides for the new Python GUI.

It does look very similar to Tcl/Tk GUI but the new additions look very nice.

The tool bar pallets are nice,

I also like the use of Tabs for the GIS Manager. Would a person be able to "tear" away the tabs into a separate window, and return them?

Is it also possible to somehow make any scrollable 'pane' resizable for ease of viewing. ie the EPGS code lists...

What are the main advantages to a Python GUI over Tcl/Tk GUI?

just curious.

Great work! I am really impressed with the talent within the GRASS community.

cheers,

you have to ask by wxPython guys :slight_smile: AFAIK not in the separate window,
but it could be possible to reorganize them in the gis manager
window..

Is it also possible to somehow make any scrollable 'pane' resizable
for ease of viewing. ie the EPGS code lists...

it is just a proof of the concept kode. it is still not really usable.
I mean, most of the buttons are doing what they are supposed to do.
but the widgets-organization is not done yet.

What are the main advantages to a Python GUI over Tcl/Tk GUI?

from the user point of view: it should be abit nicer. from coder point
of view: faster and more powerful language (python) and GUI library
(wxWidgets). There are also bindings to OpenGL for future nviz
integration and so on.

just curious.

Great work! I am really impressed with the talent within the GRASS
community.

cheers,

Mars
