Thank you, Markus, for your work on v.rast.stats. It works perfectly.
Thanks also to Lorenzo for making the 6.1 cvs and for updating them so frequently.
Also thanks to the many developers of the GIS Manager. I have tried to use GRASS on the Mac for about 2 years, and I feel I must let you know that version 6.1 is very user friendly. I also greatly appreciate the short tutorial Lorenzo put together. It cleared up a number of questions for me about how the words, "Location", "Mapset," and "PERMANENT" are used by GRASS.
Of course, I have one more question. Is it possible to control the type of variable that is created by v.rast.stats? Or how many digits are displayed using v.label? I cannot find this in the documentation.
In addition, the pop-up windows that appear after clicking the show attribute and the show data buttons in the GIS Manager cannot be closed by clicking the red close button on my Mac. These windows only close down when the X11 application is shut down. This is only cosmetic, but I thought you might want to know.
Or how many digits are displayed using v.label? I cannot find this in
the documentation.
to do this the db_convert_value_to_string() fn in lib/db/valuefmt.c
would need to be updated.
Same issue with d.what.vect output.
Sometimes replacing %lf with %15g for TYPE_DOUBLE makes it nicer, but
for eastings and northings it is nice to have 5000000.000 format and %g
makes a million into 1e+06.. There is code elsewhere in GRASS to strip
trailing zeros from FP numbers if not needed, maybe it could be used.
We need to be careful that we don't lose any information on data output
because we decided to make it look pretty, as that uses the same lib
fn..
In GRASS 5 I added a precision= option to d.site.labels for just this.
In d.legend I tried to set the number of digits correctly by range and
all sorts of rules. I don't find either of these solutions are very nice...
For you probably the easiest is to edit the paint/labels/ file directly.
Maybe someone can suggest a awk command to reformat the text: lines?

It's sufficient to press Return Key inside this window and after clicking the red close button.
