<div dir="ltr">Hi to everyone.<br>In the last period I've been working a lot with GRASS for my daily job, and it permitted me to develop a series of wishes for the future...<br>I will share them in the GRASS 7 ideas collection but I would like to ask some questions before:<br>
<br>VECTORS<br><br>1 - OGR datasources: one important GIS functionality in daily work is the possibility to access shapefiles, and other simple feature datas (PostGIS, Oracle Spatial, etc.) directly, without having to import them and/or building the topology. Many times these datas are simply used for visualization (geometries and attributes), or table attributes management...<br>
I've seen it is already in the Radim's TODO list [1].<br>Is it a priority in GRASS 7 development, or it is left as a minor enhancement?<br><br>2 - geometry highlighting: when selecting features from the attributes table (wxGUI), it would be nice to make the geometries highlighted in the map window... See next section.<br>
<br>3 - vectors/thematic vectors: it happens only in GRASS that these two are separated. Wouldn't be better to merge into a single display command with thmatic styiling as options?<br><br>MAP CANVAS<br><br>the user experience with the maps should be enhanced:<br>
<br>1 - when zooming, incremental resolution would be nice (pyramids for rasters?)<br>2 - when panning, only the new areas should be added (a sort of tiling)<br>3 - geometry selection (like with "identify" tools, or polygonal selection tools) ->view selected features inside the table attributes, and viceversa<br>
<br>I know it is quite distant from the actual display architecture, but it would be an important improvement from my point of view...<br>Do you think it will be feasible considering the rodmap you've planned?<br><br>
Ok, it's enough for now. I would have many other proposals, but I will share them in the future :)<br><br>Giovanni<br><br>[1] <a href="http://freegis.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/grass6/doc/vector/TODO?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup">http://freegis.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/grass6/doc/vector/TODO?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup</a><br>
