[GRASS-user] GRASS 6.2.1-1 Installation Question

[Ramu Narayanan]

Hi,

I have been able to use the Map Display Monitor UI as oppossed to typing in
d.mon for displaying raster maps.  I have not encountered much difficulty
with the UI when working with raster data.  Is there a text command that can
be used to select the UI Map Display Monitor?

When I use the UI to display a regular raster map, I see the following in
the Output window:
d.frame -e
d.rast map=<mapname> -o
g.pnmcomp in=####.#.ppm mask=####.#.pgm opacity=1.00 background=255:255:255
width=640 height=482 output=3648.1.ppm

The raster map loads up without problem.

however, when I type d.frame -e in the terminal, I get the same response
that no graphics monitor has been selected.

Thanks,
Ramu
