[GRASS-dev] Re: grass-dev Digest, Vol 2, Issue 20

[Michael Barton]

I want to point out that Œassisted scripting¹ and command line learning is
already available in the current (new and still not quite finished) GIS
Manager. The command console records all commands run by the GUI and keeps a
running history of commands and their output. By clicking on any command in
the history window, it is put into the command console at the bottom where
you can modify it and run it. Type Œtil your heart¹s content. You can also
cut and paste individual commands into a script if you want to build one. I
realize that GRASS and its interface is changing rapidly, sometimes on a
weekly basis. But we are trying to maintain (and improve) a robust command
line while making a much more usable GUI.

Each time we finish a GRASS GIS lab session (3-4 hours), i run the script of
the whole lab in 1-2 minutes in front of the students, you should see their
reaction!

Such "assisted" scripting capability would be a serious advantage for
fastening the learning curve to advanced level processing. Aggreed, not all
processing can be done scripting-side, but surely a lot can be done.
Besides, GRASS GIS is changing fast, having a way to list & pick-up commands
can really help out here.
