<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>Working with Bob Covill, I’ve started on a series of updates to the NVIZ GUI. This has several objectives, the main one being to make NVIZ more usable and make a number of exciting new features more accessible. The updating involves standardizing widgets and fonts, using colors for visual cues (no, I didn’t make it green, though it was tempting), standardizing terminology to match with the rest of GRASS, cleaning up the code, using more current widgets like SpinBoxes and ComboBoxes, and starting to add in mouse-over help. To give others a chance to look and comment, and to avoid losing track of where I’m at so far, I’ve gone ahead and uploaded a number of these updates to the cvs. I’m not making any changes in how NVIZ operates (though Bob is continuing with code updates), just changing how the GUI looks. Let me know what you think.<BR>
