[GRASS-dev] wxgrass ready for testing

[Michael Barton]

The new wxPython GRASS interface  (AKA wxgrass) is pretty much equal in
functionality to the standard TclTk interface, and so is ready for regular
testing. All items from the TclTk menus are on the wxPython menus. There are
a couple of caveats.

There is not yet a comprehensive georectifying module like there is for
TclTk
The location setting wizard is not yet functional, meaning that you can't
define projections using g.setproj.
You will still need TclTk for NVIZ, v.digit, and d.rast.edit.

There are also some enhancements over the TclTk interface, including:
a prototype attribute data manager (works for interactive mouse queries)
more sophisticated profile analysis module
full command line access to all GRASS commands; d.* commands called from the
command line can display in the wxPython canvas.
easily positioned scalebar and legend
A more compact (and aesthetic) appearance

You can get wxgrass from the GRASS subversion repository at...
<https://grasssvn.itc.it/grasssvn/grassaddons/trunk/grassaddons/>
Download the entire GUI tarball and follow the easy installation
instructions.

enjoy
Michael

PS: I'll be gone after tomorrow for a week.
