Subject: NVIZ top2 window doesnt resize
Platform: GNU/Linux/i386
grass obtained from: Trento Italy site
grass binary for platform: Downloaded precompiled Binaries
GRASS Version: 5.0.2
System Gnu-Linux Redhat 8.0
Trying to use NVIZ, for instance with Spearfish el=elevation.dem from within
Tcltk-gui.
NVIZ starts normally, it opens all windows i.e. nviz I/O, NVIZ (with the
grided raster file) and top2. But top2 is closed and I can either resize not
rescale, so that I have no access to the panel. I would like to send you a
snapshot.
Any idea?

I can just confirm that I had this problem too with RedHat8 and KDE.
It was rather random, sometimes it would open top2 but it would get
stuck
with other pannels. I thought that is a problem with my installation.
So I switched to gnome and it works OK there. I used nviz from command
line.
I can try it again - the top2 pannel should be re-sizeable, but for some
reason
it is not.

Bob,
here is the snapshot
http://skagit.meas.ncsu.edu/~helena/grasswork/grassprobl/nviztop2kde.jpg
I am pretty sure that I have a subtle problem with graphics card drive,
Xfree
or whatever else controls windows
- I got a new processor and graphics card for my PC and a RedHat8 update
and there were problems with the driver for my new graphics card
(Nvidia GeForce 4 Ti4200). So I still think that this is my
problem and not GRASS problem - Pedro did you find a solution?
(e.g. by using gnome? or finding other possible fix?)
You can see that the top2 window is opened but it has the wrong size -
I can open the pulldown menus and it even expands and shrinks depending
on what I select but it does not get the vertical size right.
And this does not happen all the time - few times it actually opened
correctly and I was able to use it. However - this is not a problem for
me
because I use gnome anyway, but I was surprised to see that somebody
else got it too. So you are right that the problem is somewhere else
than
in re-sizeability of the top2 window
Helena
Helena,
The top2 panel is created so that it is not re-sizable. The window
manager options for this are set in nviz2.2_script found in
NVIZ2.2/scripts. The lines are:
proc Nv_makeGUI {{BASE .top}} {
global Nv_ ScriptState src_boot env
set Nv_(First) 1
wm geometry . 585x720
wm minsize . 300 200
pack [frame $BASE] -side top -fill both -expand y
toplevel .top2
wm geometry .top2 "+400+300"
wm resizable .top2 false false
set Nv_(height) 720
The line "wm resizable .top2 false false" sets the top2 window to not
allow re-sizing. If this is changed to "true true" it can be re-sized.
However, there is probably more to this problem than just re-sizing. The
window manager in KDE is failing to set the window size correctly. A
screen shot would be helpful (could you forward to Pedro as well).
Thanks in advance for your help.
