Profile tool lacks a stop profiling entry in right mouse button

[milenan]

I was not able to stop profiling a raster map even if I was trying to profile another raster map after having closed the profile tool. I was not able to stop the profile tool at all, nor erase the lines from the map display.

The best solution would be to add a "stop profiling" entry in right mouse button as found in other GIS.

Additionally, in the console the following warning is shown:

C:\Program Files\GRASS GIS 7.2.svn\Python27\lib\site-
packages\wx-2.8-msw-unicode\wx\lib\plot.py:1164:
FutureWarning: comparison to `None` will result in an
elementwise object comparison in the future.
  if xAxis == None or yAxis == None:

Please describe the exact steps, I don't have any problems with this, at least on Ubuntu.

The profile tool seems to work ok on Linux. Can another Windows user please make a test?

IIRC there is already a ticket for this (?).

yes: #3094

[neteler]

Since #3094 is fixed, can you try again on Windows with a recent snapshot?

#fixed some issues around the wxplot mechanism.

it doesn't handle the original subject of the report Profile tool lacks a stop profiling entry in right mouse button.

if you right click during profiling a raster, you get Copy coordinates to clipboard etc, but you can't finish profiling.

the workflow is to switch to the GRASS profile analysis tool window and finish there the profiling session.

so it may be more an enhancement ticket(?).

[marisn]

Although I do not see an issue of stopping profiling tool by closing it (fixed?), I have to agree that it is impossible to stop profiling tool while its window is open. Every click, double click or right click on the map canvas results in a continuation of profile line.

One of options to consider would be turning icon entitled "Draw transect in map display" into a toggle button (one having "on" and "off" states). Of course stopping profiling with either right or double click should work together with such toggle button.
