[GRASS5] New NVIZ features

[Michael Barton]

These sound great. This is all the more reason to integrate NVIZ and the
normal 2D GRASS display.

> 
> Hello everybody.
> 
> Yesterday evening we updated many files in CVS for nviz and ogsf library (plus
> sites.c) with most of the development we have done in the last year for the
> project RIADE.
> 
> The main feature is the possibility in nviz of visualizing sites (or vector
> points) with a different color and/or size for each point, depending from the
> values in the associated db. There is the possibility of visualizing more than
> one field value per point, histograms, and an improved "picking" of the point
> in order to directly access its related db record. Furthermore there is the
> possibility of associating multimedia data to a field and access it directly
> by clicking on it.
> 
> These features are quickly explained in a README.ACS file in the nviz
> directory.
> 
> Later today we will post to this list a link to an article we have written for
> the seventh grass meeting in which we describe the functions with more
> details.
> 
> Another minor change was made to the surface panel interface: upon request of
> our users we changed the names on the buttons and, in our opinion, they are a
> little more clear now. Should anyone find this worst or annoying, please do
> not hesitate to ask for regression.
> 
> One final thing: at the moment we didn't added a "Time Series" feature we
> developed because it requires a lot of subtle changes and at the moment it
> seems to us that it introduces more problems than solutions if not needed.
> Should anyone be interested, please contact us. We will post documentation on
> this feature too.
> 
> I hope these developments will be useful to many.
