Hi, re. this request: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.grass.user/5335/
I wonder how it should be done. we could make a "LL_FORMAT" variable which could take values of D, DM, and DMS. The default/failover would continue to be DMS. (ddd:mm:ss.ssssE) and then any module using the G_format_northing() string would get the formatted result. a question is whether to have that as a shell enviro variable or a GIS variable? the advantage of a GIS variable is that it could go onto a preferences GUI. Otherwise I'd just go with a shell var. There is the chance that scripts/modules parse the dd:mm:ss string so we risk breaking those.(m.proj would need to be adjusted for example) I think any user setting shell environment variables will be prepared to deal with that when their scripts break though. another option might be LL_FORMAT=PROJ4 to get 000d00'00.000"E style for cs2cs. comments/ideas?
