[GRASS-user] [GRASSLIST:1181] d.m/d.gis mysteries..

[Michael Barton]

The GIS Manager (gis.m) is the default GUI interface in 6.1+. In 6.1, we've
maintained the old GUI interface (d.m) for legacy compatibility. To help
keep the menus in sync, there is a common menu file for both (menu.tcl). The
menu items file for gis.m (gmmenu.tcl) reads menu.tcl for all items it has
in common with d.m. For a few new items (e.g., georectifier), it adds them
into its own menu file.

I am anticipating that we'll drop d.m completely for 6.2 and merge all the
menu items back into a single file

> The first mystery (for me) is that the files at d.m/menu.tcl:
> 465 lines including all menu positions - my old cvs version
> 45(!) lines including SOME menu positions - new 6.1.0

> The second mystery (for me) is d.gis. It is very nice but still I can

> For use it I mean to be able to display the results of some of my

> I have developed bunch of scripts for very specific data visualization.
> I have even integrated them with gui of the previous version (I mean

> d.gis. Of course I have always switch to d.m but it also need some
> adjustment (see 'mystery 01').
> I will be very happy if somebody can explain me how to port e.g. the
> script which is using e.g. d.what.vect command or the script which
> utilize multiple call to d.vect.thematic and displaying the results on
> the same display.
