Tcl/Tk and GRASS

GRASS GRASS user

Jeremy,

I'd be really interested in a PD 'X' interface to GRASS - XGRASS looked
good, but don't think I could swing the purchase of MOTIF licenses.

I'm hoping that the comments made by Tom Moore regarding the work they
are having done on combining Tcl/Tk and GRASS will come to fruition.

I might be able to give some low skilled help soon, depending on approval
of a project.

Cheers,

Well, we do have a problem with our gutter leaking, so ...

Seriously, there's room in a GRASS GUI development project for all hands,
and then some. Lot's of stuff would have to be done that doesn't even
involve any kind of programming, like reverse-engineering the GRASS
command-line interfaces into a form analogous to xclip scripts (which are
incomplete, as nearly as I recall); if you have a shop with more-or-less
naive GRASS users, then you could oversee some testing of parts of the
GUI; if you have good, fast, cheap access to Internet services, then you
could keep a look out for useful bits and pieces (of Tcl/Tk code, or
whatever) that might be reusable in the GRASS GUI; and many other thinks.

Coding part of the GUI itself with Tk (or whatever) would be nice, too. :slight_smile:
