export and share region settings

[timmie]

Hello, for working with several locations it would be convenient to let users export region settings outside of grassdata and share region settings between locations of the same projection.

Thanks in advance, Timmie

"g.region -p" ?

copy/inspect $MAPSET/WIND files?

I'm not really sure what you are asking to do.

Please note that I am talking about the wx.GUI.

In the mapwindow and in g.region (Config -> region) you may change or zoom to region settings.

I sometime have different locations with the same projection and same area. It would be nice to share the region information between them. Just like saving the layer settings can be saved, too.

Save workspace with no defined map layer? Workspace has at least information about display region. Then to set computation region for display and fix resolution. Probably too much tricky. Should workspace store also computation region and change current computation region when loading wokrspace file?

You CAN save region settings. That is an option of g.region and is on the menu. You can then load the region settings--also on the menu.

Yes, one can save them. But not to a text file or configuration file outside GRASS. Like the wxGUI workspace settings.

Why not the following:

1) Cycle through all locations in GRASSDB 2) get saved regions for all locations with the same projection settings 3) provide these in the wxGUI mapwindow: zoom to saved location current location, mapset1 current location, mapset2 other location, mapset1
