#3310: GUI raster query: allow more choices in output of information
--------------------------+-------------------------
 Reporter:  mlennert      |      Owner:  grass-dev@…
     Type:  enhancement   |     Status:  new
 Priority:  normal        |  Milestone:  7.4.0
Component:  wxGUI         |    Version:  svn-trunk
 Keywords:  query raster  |        CPU:  Unspecified
 Platform:  Unspecified   |
--------------------------+-------------------------
 The current raster query tool in the GUI is not ideal for efficient
 interaction, for example to collect coordinates or data from the screen.

 Here are a few possible improvements that would make life easier:

 * Allow the choice of variable to output. Sometimes one wants only
 coordinates, sometimes only the data.
 * Allow a mode where info of a new click is added to old click, not
 replacing it. That would allow to quickly collect information from the
 screen by clicking a series of points and then copy everything to the
 clipboard in one go.
 * In addition to "redirect output to the console", it would be nice to be
 able to redirect output to a file.

 Some of these might actually be part of the GSoC project
 [https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/GSoC/2017#AdditionalGUItoolsforimageanalysis
 Additional GUI tools for image analysis], or it could be a good test for
 potential candidates.
