[GRASS-dev] new tests on wxgui

[Daniel Calvelo]

So far, this is the logic behind the order of tabs in menuform.py:

First, generate a list of sections from the xml description. AFAICS,
the xml is generated (parser.c) in the order the arguments are
declared and added to the list in the main() function of the command.

Required arguments are put in the Main tab, regardless of their initial section.

Arguments that do not declare a section are put in the Options tab.

Command and Manual tabs are added. The latter is omitted if there is
no HTML file for the command.

Within each tab, flags are first, then the rest of arguments in the
order they appear in the parser-generated XML, which is the order in
which they are declared in the main() function of the command.

So it is up to each command to declare its own arrangement. I can't
see any immediate heuristics that could override that. Any ideas?

The underscore vs. space can of course be dealt with.

Daniel.
