[GRASS5] Re: i.vpoints and the new gism

[Michael Barton]

Carlos,

You can open a monitor (using d.mon) from the command line, size it the way
you want, and start i.vpoints from the command line.

A short while ago, I suggested that a new module (i.gcp?) could be written
that would simply accept 2 xy pairs for input. It would add, delete,
activate, or deactivate a line with these point pairs in the (ascii) points
file and calculate rms error for activated points in the file.

Then a GUI could get the points by clicking with a mouse or let you enter
them manually, without reliance on a xmonitor or any other particular type
of display.
