[GRASS5] [bug #824] (grass) d.3d tcltkgrass interface : wrong zero elevation option

this bug's URL: http://intevation.de/rt/webrt?serial_num=824
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Subject: d.3d tcltkgrass interface : wrong zero elevation option

Platform: Solaris7/Intel
Xwindows version: Barco X11R6
Xwindows manager: CDE
TclTk version: tcl/tk 8.2
grass downloaded at: Baylor site
grass binary for platform: I compiled the sources myself
grass sources source: no, I got a source code package from the server, grass5.0.0pre2
c compiler name: gcc

When displaying 3d raster (d.3d)
using tcltk interface
selecting 'show zero elevations' option
adds -0 to the command line instead of -n, resulting in error message

-------------------------------------------- Managed by Request Tracker

Should d.3d be put into attic? I found that people often mistake it for
nviz and expect it to work like that and they are very disappointed. This is a very old
program which has not been
worked on since we had SG3d (which may be 10 years) and if you try it
it is really difficult to work with and nviz now should work on every machine (at least
I hope)?

d.3d can be run non-interactively; AFAIK, nviz can't.

I've fixed this in CVS.

To fix an existing installation, remove the line:

     {checkbox -0 {Show zero elevations.} "" -0}

and add the line:

     {checkbox -n {Show null elevations.} "" -n}

from src/tcltkgrass/module/d.3d and/or $GISBASE/tcltkgrass/module/d.3d
