[GRASS-dev] wxGUI GRASS 7: how to drape a map over a DEM?

[Helena Mitasova]

I have updated the videos for wxnviz including working with multiple surfaces, color draping and adding a constant surface
and cutting planes here:
http://courses.ncsu.edu/mea582/common/GIS_anal_grass/GIS_Anal_grvisual.html
you can see there wxnviz and old nviz side-by-side.

I will re-do the videos once we have a final release of 6.4.3

The only thing that you need to be aware of is that in GRASS6 change in region is ignored by wxnviz - it always
uses the region which was set when you first switched to it. You need to quit wxgui, change region and restart wxgui.
In GRASS7 region can be changed - one more reason to have GRASS7 pre-release.

Anna please correct me if I am wrong in anything above.

I hope this helps, Helena
