Hi all,

there is initial prototype of GUI for ps.map (so called wx.psmap)
available for testing! The goal is to develop GUI which allows users
to create interactively hardcopy map outputs in GRASS. The GUI is
developed by Anna Kratochvilova (cc'ed) within her bachelor final
project at the CTU in Prague, see [1,2].

You can install `wx.psmap` using `g.extension` module, see [3]. Daily
winGRASS builds (GRASS 7 and GRASS 6.5) [4] already comes with
wx.psmap installed.

Testing is very welcomed. Please report related bugs or wishes using
GRASS trac [5] (component: wxGUI, keywords: wx.psmap).

Thanks, Martin (mentor of Anna's project)

First question: I'm running Grass-GIS 6.4 on OSX Leopard. g.extension.py fails - is this installable?

first of all GRASS 6.5 is required. Please provide detailed
information how g.extension.py fails.

Marin - I'll see what happens under 6.5.

Cheers,

it relies on g.extension.py changes from the last couple of days.

just copy the files in to the right places manually (try to follow the
Makefile), but really a 6.5 or 7 snapshot built from source is you best
bet.

It's worth the effort- even if you are an expert it helps to get the
instruction template ready before you start tweaking things by hand.

Thanks Hamish ... I might be lazy, though, and wait for a 6.5 build from William K. Not just being lazy, there, I'm also under a bit of time pressure at the moment.

Or perhaps I'll press one of my Linux boxen into service to test it!

it's quite easy, copy

docs/*.html -> gui/wxpython/docs
gui_modules/*.py -> gui/wxpython/gui_modules
xml/*.xml -> gui/wxpython/xml
images/*.png -> gui/images

and run in `gui`

$ make
