hi all,

I use grass 5.7 with my vector data to make Geographical Information System about transportation.
A long this time I just use and type grass command on grass prompt to operation my vector data.
I want ask you all, about GUI (Graphics User Interface) in grass.
I want to make a button in a windows that I can click to do some grass command.

I would just write some simple perl script with Tk, which would call the GRASS
commands. If you do not know any program language, have a look e.g. to
http://glade.gnome.org/, but I do not have any experience with this.

If you have installed Grass on a unix or linux system and the tcltk interface is operational simply type

grass5
   and then at the grass shell prompt type

tcltkgrass &

If you always want to open up grass with a graphical interface, just change your
.grassrc5 file with a unix text editor like pico. Change the line that says
GRASS_GUI: text
to
GRASS_GUI: tcltk

with grass 57 the file might be called .grassrc57

Good luck,
Ian
