Newbie questions

Hi Li,

1) Is there a way to size the GRASS monitor automatically (through scripting
or by modifying the fifo device file) at the beginning of a GRASS session.

  You can put these lines as an example in your ~/.grassrc file:
XDRIVER_HEIGHT: 800
XDRIVER_WIDTH: 750
XDRIVER_LEFT: 500
XDRIVER_RIGHT: 875
  

2) When one has scripted several GRASS display commands, is there an easy way
to "lock" the screen display until all the commands are complete, so the user
can just look at the end result rather than all the intermediate display
operations.

  Don't think so unless you combine vector maps into one with different
categories, then using d.vect.cats (?) to display with different colors. Rick
