Comment(by martinl): Replying to [comment:11 glynn]: > It's bogus because there's simply no reason for that check to be there. Everything worked fine before someone mistakenly added it, and works fine now that it has been removed. The only consequence of that check was to generate an error for entirely valid usage. well, it worked fine also before you reverted it. The reason of this condition was simple. Not to generate output by the default display driver (ie. to write map.png to the current directory) without noticing to the user. Such behaviour is really obscure. The user should be asked to start monitor (`d.mon`) or to specify display driver by environmental variable (GRASS_RENDER_IMMEDIATE). -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/2509#comment:13> GRASS GIS <http://grass.osgeo.org> _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
