First of all congratulations to Jacques Bouchard and Markus Neteler on the ne
w
version. It is much improved over the old one and comes at a time when we wer
e
starting our own tcltk interface from scratch.
Most of the job was done by Jacques Bouchard!
What is the development status of tcltkgrass? We are interested in improving
it
and possibly contributing to the development.
The current status is the version you get from the GRASS 4.2.1 server:
-> tcltkgrass V 1.1
Our main interests are making it
multi-lingual (text for pushbuttons, labels, etc - we have done this in our
interface), customizable menu items (for users own grass programs etc) and
having an interface to a database (we have a simple preliminary prototype bas
ed
on the old tcltkgrass version using the PostgreSQL database).
Great idea! This is what I am hoping for the future. The V1.1 shall be the init
ial
release for a new GRASS graphical user interface (GUI). There is high potential
to
develop this package into a friendly, intuitive GUI for GRASS.
Who should I contact to discuss development of tcltkgrass, Baylor University
or
Markus Neteler? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Please send all you suggestions to me:
neteler@geog.uni-hannover.de
I will coordinate tcltkgrass the next time. Baylor's people are concentrated on
GRASS 5.0 (floating point raster).
BTW, since we compiled the floating point code before Baylor University took
over development, we did not bother downloading grass 4.2. Where can I find t
he
d.pan command? It doesn't seem to be on the Baylor FTP site or the CERL FTP
site. Do I have to download the entire 4.2 source to extract the d.pan code?
The d.pan command is included in GRASS 4.2.1. I have added more than 30 modules
.
Get GRASS 4.2.1 from
http://www.laum.uni-hannover.de/iln/grass42/
There is also a list of included modules and certainly a development
history text (and more...).
Many greetings from
Markus Neteler
