Greetings,
does anyone know of a module (d.*, v.*, r.* ??) that will accept a point and a
bearing, and draw the line on the active monitor?
if not, where would I start in writing my own module to do this?
thanks in advance!

Looks like necessity is the mother of invention. Solved this problem with a
shiny new module d.bearing:
The new module solves the problem I had (plot a transect from x,y along
bearing theta, to given radius) and will optionally save the result as a new
vector.
if anyone is interested i will post the source it for general consumption.
Here is the manpage from my local sources:

I bet there will be folks interested. Could you put it on the Grass wiki
to be available at will? Or maybe it could go to 6.1 permanently?
If neither is possible please post it over to me. It is really cool. Currently I won't need it but I recall I was looking for such a functionality in the past. Congrats and thanks!

Sure. I have posted it to my website for the time being, pending
thoughts from markus and pals on inclusion in 6.1.

It's quite nice when you can make modules to do exactly what you need
done... but fyi, see also:
d.geodesic
d.rhumbline
r.profile
r.transect
d.mapgraph (hopefully merged into d.graph soon)
v.in.ascii format=standard
(and as mentioned m.cogo from GRASS 5)

Thanks for the head up on this. I had researched using v.out.ascii, d.mapgraph , awk, and finally v.in.ascii all wrapped in a BASH script... but it seemed a little cumbersome for the work I am doing. If d.bearing is has too much overlap with other modules, then I will post it on the GRASS Wiki for curious users. Or perhaps, some additional functionality or consolidation of functionality would be best.
Cheers,

Maybe a better idea is to make this function a flag of r.transect. Or even
better, merge r.transect and r.profile, and make the vector output line a
flag. What do you think?

fyi, r.transect is already just a simple frontend to r.profile.
You can use the -g flag to get geographic coordinates (which can be fed
into v.in.ascii, either as points or form a line from the verticies*),
and the -c flag to get a GRASSRGB column for filling color (or other
thematic use).
[*] see v.in.garmin script
Make the segment distance longer than your line length, and you get end
point coordinates from a dist,azimuth. (?)

Right. This is why I suggested that they might be merged.

Wouldn't it make sense to put all this together into a module rather than
having several partly overlapping ones? Seems it would be more functional in
that case too. I don't know how much work it would be though.

Hi GRASS users:
In your opinion and experience, which hardware configuration
is the best to run GRASS over LINUX ?
With "best" I mean best performance,
and also cheapest. (about U$ 2.000 the whole basic system:
mother board+CPUs+RAM+HD)
By the way, which LINUX distribution is the best to
run GRASS with huge data base?
and in combination with what kind of (cheap) hardware?
Thank you very much for your help.
Kenneth

For the most part GIS is IO-bound. So, you get the most bang for the
buck by going with lots of ram and fast disks. CPU is less important
(except for 3-D in which case a nice video card is a must).
I've got a brand new AMD64 2800 with 2 gb ram (running in 32-bit mode)
and an old Pentium IV (?) 1800 Mhz with 1.5 gb ram. I didn't notice
much of a speed increase going to the AMD chip in GRASS. Though I
haven't tried compiling grass in 64-bit yet. Maybe that would have
some impact?

Hi Kenneth,
I am running GRASS on two boxes: One has an AMD-64 2800 processor with 2GB of RAM and a HD of 160 GB; the other one is a laptop with a P-4 @ 1.7 with 560 MB of RAM. I did compile GRASS on 64 bit mode as well as other GRASS related software (e.g. R, PostgreSQL, etc) and I’ve noticed a big difference when analyzing data. I assume you’re considering building your own which I also think is the best way to go.
HTH,
Jaime
