[GRASS-dev] m.printws - new module recommendation/announcement

[Veronica Andreo]

Hello Robert,

I would like to test this new add-on very much, but I haven't been able to
install it with g.extension as explained here:
https://grass.osgeo.org/grass73/manuals/g.extension.html for the case of
repositories other than SVN. This is the command I'm using:

g.extension m.printws url=
github.com/kuszinger/giscomgrass7addons/tree/master/m.printws
Fetching <m.printws> from
<
https://github.com/kuszinger/giscomgrass7addons/tree/master/m.printws/archive/master.zip
>
(be patient)...
ERROR: Extension <m.printws> not found

(I'm using a freshly recompiled grass73 - r69069M under Linux-Fedora24)

Am I using g.extension properly? Any ideas?

Best,
Vero

> I've created a new python script which generates:
>
>    - quick printout (pdf) from workspace definitions
>    - supports multiple display definitions in one workspace ( = multiple
>    printouts in one run)
>    - UTF-8 text could also be printed (ps.map supports only latin1, this
>    was the initial reason to create alternative print method)
>
> known major issues:

>    - barscale and northarrow positioning should be revised in the
>    respective d.* modules
>    - ImageMagick dependency should be eliminated longer term
>    - regexp processing of workspace files instead of formal XML processing
>    - needs more calibration on txt/symbol resizing according to printout
>    dpi change

>
> This module is NOT for professional prints but for quick&dirty and
> hopefully comfortable
> printout making.
