[GRASS-dev] d.extend in gui

[Michael Barton]

I¹m going through and finishing up the menus for wxgrass. This is giving me
the opportunity to look at the current gui menu structure and revisit all
GRASS commands in excruciating detail. But there are some advantages.

I noticed that d.extend is still on the menu. This is supposed to set the
region to match the maximum extent of all displayed maps, but it won¹t work
without an xmon displaying a map. This makes it essentially useless in the
context of the current GUI¹s. However, it could be a useful function if you
could optionally give it a list of maps to use for setting the region. You
can almost do this with g.region. You can give g.region rast= a list of
raster maps. But this won¹t work for mixed raster and vector maps.

I don¹t know what is needed to get either one of these working outside of an
xmon environment to zoom to max extent, but it would be nice to have this
functionality if it is not too difficult to implement.
