[GRASS-dev] Re: grass-user Digest, Vol 21, Issue 41

[Michael Barton]

In order to get an extension into the menu, you need to have an ASCII  
text file named xtnmenu.dat in $GISBASE/etc or somewhere else in the  
path specified by $GRASS_ADDON_ETC.

The specs for this file are as follows:

Lines that begin with a "#" are comments and not read
Menu description lines are

[menu level]:[menu item]:[command to call module]:[help string]

[menu level] is not implemented yet, but would allow for hierarchical  
menus. Just set it to 0
[menu item] is what actually shows up in the menu, UNLESS [menu item]  
== "separator". If it is called separator, it will create a menu  
separator as a horizontal rule.
[command to call module] should be in the proper format to initiate  
your module from TclTk. You can use run procedures available gis.m  
(see runandoutput.tcl)
[help string] is a text string for mouse-over help.

Hope this helps.

Michael
