[GRASS-user] Possible Grass Bug

[Veronica Andreo]

Hi Nozhan,

[always keep discussion on the list for others to step in and/or benefit
from it]

IMHO, GRASS GIS is quite versatile and allows multiple types of use(r)s :)

You can use GRASS from the GUI only searching commands in the menu, write
commands in the (simple) console tab, write commands in the black terminal
only (combining commands with bash language if in Linux), you can write
your scripts in bash or python and execute them without starting GRASS
explicitly, or use GRASS from Python through grass-session library... and
maybe some others...

Personally, I use the black terminal only and when I need to visualize any
result I open a monitor with d.mon. If you use the GUI, you already have a
"monitor" which is the map display window, thus d.mon does not work in the
GUI simple console but d.rast, d.vect and others do. In my opinion, the GUI
simple console is useful when someone is learning to use GRASS GIS; once
the user gets used to commands, black terminal is the best. It's a matter
of taste, habit, convenience ;)

Let us know if there's anything you think we could enhance in the
documentation. Also, text snippets are welcome :)

Cheers,
Vero
