GRASS GIS - wxPython Graphical User Interface (wxGUI) ===================================================== $Date: 2018-09-05 05:59:31 +0000 (Wed, 05 Sep 2018) $ 1 - REQUIREMENTS GRASS GIS >= 6.4 Python >= 2.4 Python ElementTree (only for Python 2.4) wxPython >= 2.8.10.1 NumPy >= 1.0.4 PIL >= 1.1.7 2 - STARTUP WITH GRASS INITIALIZATION If you want to launch wxPython GUI automatically, start GRASS with `--gui` parameter $ grass77 --gui 3 - STARTUP FROM GRASS TERMINAL Simply run $ g.gui wxpython from the GRASS terminal. You can also specify workspace file to load on startup. $ g.gui gui=wxpython workspace=myworkspace.gxw 4 - DEBUGGING To enable GUI debug messages on given level set WX_DEBUG environment variable, e.g. $ g.gisenv set="WX_DEBUG=3" 5 - CLI BASED DISPLAY USAGE Use command d.mon (shell script in gui/scripts directory) to start map display: GRASS> d.mon wx[0-6] After a while, new window should appear. If this is your case, add some raster layer to the map display: GRASS> d.rast aspect And try the vector layer too GRASS> d.vect roads You should be able to zoom && pan through the map, once the layers are displayed. You should be also able to store the display content as well as clear the display and start from scratch. 6 TRANSLATION HANDLING Notes: - Help part of menu entries is coming from the module descriptions - The menu is maintained manually in xml/menudata.xml Update of module description strings in xml/menudata.xml: - in a GRASS session, run tools/update_menudata.py From this (updated) xml/menudata.xml, the gettext strings are generated via Makefile and stored into the file "menustrings.py". When generating the po files in locale/po/ but locale/Makefile, all .py files are parsed and the strings are stored in locale/po/grasswxpy_XX.po
