[GRASS-user] replacement for d.mon in GRASS 7.0?

[alonso]

Ok. It works fine now thanks a lot.

Anyway this approach hasn't the flexibility and possibilities that
monitors had, like zoom, frames, queries (specially queries to several
maps with d.what.*).

I understand that python interface is an improvement, but I'd be happy
having d.mon in the all way in GRASS 7.

best wishes

Paco Alonso
