d.rast.edit.tcl: doesn't start from wxPython without aspect map

[hamish]

this was doc issue # 406 on the old Gforge tracker. Moving it here

Hi,

there's a fancy new Tcl d.rast.edit module in CVS, but its scripts/d.rast.edit/description.html file is mostly empty.

The relevant bits need to be "ported" from the old C version, in display/d.rast.edit/description.html. Lots of that will be irrelevant, so a straight copy is no good.

e.g. explain what the aspect option is used for.

thanks,

Hamish

help page edits done in r36170 etc. grass7 wxpython version of d.rast.edit needs to be checked for compatibility.

from the wxpython gui in 6.4.0rc3 WinGrass, trying to launch d.rast.edit.tcl gives an error:

Error in startup script
no such variable
(read trace on "env(GIS_OPT_ASPECT)")
invoked from within "set aspect $env(GIS_OPT_ASPECT)"
(file "C:/OSGeo4W/.../etc/d.rast.edit.tcl line 15)
[OK]

aspect= should be optional.

in the 6.4.2rc3 standalone wingrass installer Raster -> Change cat values and labels -> Interactively edit cat values (launches Glynn's tcl/tk d.rast.edit tool) still gives the same "aspect map" error. if you give it an aspect map then it starts up ok.

it works ok for me on linux.
