Hi,
some vector modules show inconsistencies with parameter names.
As most of these parameters have been introduced recently (or
in a beta in 5.0) I propose to correct that. Later, in 5.1
we will completely cleanup the parameter structure.
Here I am only thinking to clean "category number" and "category label"
which regularly leads to confusion when not named properly.
Examples:
d.area help
[...]
category List of area categories to display
-> should be
catnum List of area category numbers to display
-----------------------------------------------
v.in.shape help
[...]
attribute Name of attribute to use as category
-> should be
catnum Name of attribute to use as category number
-----------------------------------------------
d.vect.cats help
[...]
cat Vector category type to be displayed
-> should be
catnum List of category numbers to display
Suggestion: The latter shall go into d.vect anyway (to be compliant with
d.rast and to reduce the number of modules).
If there are no objections, I will change above.
Like that it's too confusing in my opinion. Suggestions are
welcome of course!
