-This GRASS GUI is written in the Python programming language using wxPython –
-a blending of the wxWidgets library for Python. The GUI is composed of two
-main components: Layer Manager and Map Display Window. The Layer Manager
-allows users to run different GRASS modules from a menu, includes map layer 
-management, integrated command-line prompt, and command output window.
-Map Display Window integrates basic tools for zooming, panning, data querying,
-decorations (north arrows, barscale, etc.). Additional tools like Digitization
-or Georectification tool are also available.
+The GUI is composed of two main components:
 
-Ongoing development focuses on stability, portability and on the integration
-of OpenGL. As result, Map Display Window will support 3D rendering including
-3D raster (voxels) and 3D vector data.

 Development plans:
-<p>
-A Map Composer, a tool for hardcopy map outputs is planned to be developed
-in the first half of 2008. Currently, the tools for creating hardcopy maps
-(map layout) are limited in GRASS because its focus on modeling and spatial
-analysis. GRASS gives the user ability to add only a very simple and standardized
-legend, north arrow and scale to display to the graphics monitor and then export the
-display to an external image file such as a png. These map features are very basic
-and cannot be customized. The goal is to allow users to prepare simple cartographic
-outputs comparable e.g. with other, proprietary GIS map layout functionality.
