[GRASS-dev] info buttons in gis.m (tcltk)

[Michael Barton]

Carlos,

I think that this is very nice. I have only 2 suggestions:

1) make the icon 24x24 to match the size of all other icons (just add more
white border or make it 24x24 with a transparent background). This would
make its button match all the others.

2) name the icon gui-rv.info.gif, or make 2 icons--one for each command. The
convention is that icons named module-* actually run real GRASS modules. So,
you could have module-r.info.gif and module-v.info.gif (and make them
identical) or have a special GUI module named gui-rv.info.gif.

If others think also think this is handy, we should go ahead and put them in
the cvs.

Michael
