<TITLE>d.extend in gui</TITLE>

<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>I’m going through and finishing up the menus for wxgrass. This is giving me the opportunity to look at the current gui menu structure and revisit all GRASS commands in excruciating detail. But there are some advantages. <BR>
<BR>
I noticed that d.extend is still on the menu. This is supposed to set the region to match the maximum extent of all displayed maps, but it won’t work without an xmon displaying a map. This makes it essentially useless in the context of the current GUI’s. However, it could be a useful function if you could optionally give it a list of maps to use for setting the region. You can <B>almost</B> do this with g.region. You can give g.region rast= a list of raster maps. But this won’t work for mixed raster and vector maps.<BR>
<BR>
I don’t know what is needed to get either one of these working outside of an xmon environment to zoom to max extent, but it would be nice to have this functionality if it is not too difficult to implement.<BR>
