[GRASS-user] d.mon vs g.gui

[Veronica Andreo]

Hi Tyler,

Yes, if you use d.mon plus d.vect or d.rast commands it takes a while to
load each map, you should do it one by one... indeed, d.mon interface is
not so cool for scripting visualizations, unless you use is as in
https://grass.osgeo.org/grass76/manuals/cairodriver.html. See also here:
https://gitpitch.com/veroandreo/grass-gis-conae/master?p=slides/05_temporal&grs=gitlab#/14/3.
Still if maps are heavy to load, I'm not sure how it will work. Others will
know better.

Another option for high quality cartography is ps.map or g.gui.psmap. You
can check the manual pages and grass wiki for examples. It is scriptable
and it provides nice features for creating maps. You spend time the first
time setting everything where you want it to be, but then just replace map
names and done (well, at least for rasters, that works nicely :)).

You cannot control de main Map Display from the GUI with d.vect and d.rast
from the terminal. It does work to run them from the Console tab in the
Layer Manager window, though.

HTH,
Vero
