GRASS 7.0 does not support monitors. The various display "drivers" are libraries against which the display library is linked. There are no persistent monitor processes as in 6.x, meaning that there is no persistence of state between d.* commands, so no d.frame, d.font etc. All rendering parameters are set via environment variables. Some of these are listed in the "variables" manual page, while others are listed in the manual pages for the various drivers. You can approximate the pre-7.0 workflow using an image viewer which automatically refreshes the display whenever the file changes. For X, you can use the ximgview program, e.g.: export GRASS_PNGFILE=map.bmp d.erase ximgview & export GRASS_PNG_MAPPED=TRUE export GRASS_PNG_READ=TRUE # more d.* commands -- Glynn Clements <gl...@gclements.plus.com> _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
