Dear Markus,
I'm attempting to write a v.digit tutorial (GRASS-DIGIT Modified 4.10 in
GRASS5.0.0pre3) for the Italian GRASS users (in italian language of course)
and I have some questions. Furthermore, in testing all the v.digit options,
I encountered some inconsistency (bugs?) I think can be of some interested
for you.Questions.
1) The only tutorial or document I know on v.digit is the old "GRASS 4.0 Map
Digitizing Manual: v.digit" of december 1991.
In the "GRASS reference manual. Vector commands" (p.36) a "GRASS tutorial -
digit: Its Use and Its Features" is cited. Does it exists? Where can I find
it?
The reference I also found:
http://www.soton.ac.uk/~grass/man/html/v.digit.html
but not the file. No idea, maybe someone else in the list knows?
Below I leave to discussion for the developers.
Ciao
Markus
PS: v.digit mouse buttons:
2) In an old version of v.digit, the operations with the mouse followed a
very confortable left-right button sequence for first, choosing, and second,
accepting.(the middle button for quit). In the present version, the middle
and right button functions have been inverted. This results in a very
unconfortable and frequent use of the middle button. There was some special
reason for this choice ? It must be considered a permanent feature or can I
hope a return to the old, quick,confortable button setting?Inconsistences.
In the Customize menu:
F - Toggle flexible grey scale It seems inactive (What is it for?)In the Toolbox menu:
u - Display Unlabeled areas It seems inactive
o - Display Open Area lines Highlights in yellow the open area lines, but
also the unlabeled areas.
i - Display Islands It seems inactive
n - Display Node Lines In the menu appearing after selecting and
accepting a node, the action of the middle and right buttons seem inverted.In the window menu:
c - Display scale The bar scale seems to be a permanent
feature, so this option seems unuseful (or there is some way not to display
the bar scale?)In the debug menu:
n - Display node It seems inactive.
I - Find isle It seems inactive
d - Display Node-lines In the menu appearing after selecting and
accepting a node, the action of the middle and right buttons seem inverted
(as in the Toolbox menu).Do you thinks these inconsistences can be fixed? If this is not possible I
think I'll have to put some warning in the tutorial.
Many thanks for your interest and ciao.
