<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>The new wxPython GRASS interface (AKA wxgrass) is pretty much equal in functionality to the standard TclTk interface, and so is ready for regular testing. All items from the TclTk menus are on the wxPython menus. There are a couple of caveats.<BR>
<BR>
There is not yet a comprehensive georectifying module like there is for TclTk<BR>
The location setting wizard is not yet functional, meaning that you can't define projections using g.setproj.<BR>
You will still need TclTk for NVIZ, v.digit, and d.rast.edit.<BR>
<BR>
There are also some enhancements over the TclTk interface, including:<BR>
a prototype attribute data manager (works for interactive mouse queries)<BR>
more sophisticated profile analysis module<BR>
full command line access to all GRASS commands; d.* commands called from the command line can display in the wxPython canvas.<BR>
easily positioned scalebar and legend<BR>
A more compact (and aesthetic) appearance<BR>
<BR>
You can get wxgrass from the GRASS subversion repository at...<BR>
<https://grasssvn.itc.it/grasssvn/grassaddons/trunk/grassaddons/><BR>
Download the entire GUI tarball and follow the easy installation instructions.<BR>
<BR>
enjoy<BR>
