[GRASS-dev] NVIZ now broken?

[Markus Neteler]

Michael,

as far as I see the ComboBox is used in a different way:

mapprint.tcl:    ComboBox $row.c -label "" -width 20  -textvariable psprint::paper_preset \
vector.tcl:    ComboBox $row.b -label [G_msg "label part to align with vector point"] \
vector.tcl:    ComboBox $row.c -label [G_msg " justification"] \

-> note G_msg in vector.tcl

while it was in NVIZ:
set markertype [ComboBox $row1.marker -label "  marker type " -width 8 \

?
Markus
