Paolo & Lorenzo & Company, I took some time to have a closer look. I don't have the time to prepare new definitions/descriptions for the tools (as I am suggesting below). I hope that my findings give some answers to the questions asked above. Attached an html file with my (tomboy) notes! Kindest regards, Nikos Functionality ------------- # tools that work as expected g.region.save g.region.zoom g.region.multiple.raster g.region.multiple.vector r.region.region r.region.raster r.region.edge v.in.region v.mkgrid.region # tools that don't work r.region.vector # wild guess: messes up N-S and/or E-W resolution(s) r.region.alingTo # doesn't do anything * One important thing is that, after running some *.region.* tool, to actually see the "change" it is required to hit twice the "Display Current Grass Region" button (grass toolbar), that is to deactivate and activate the red grass region box. Maybe this could be a point to "improve"? * Most tools have a "Use region of this map" button. It's unclear to me why the button is next to the map whose region is to be altered (!) * The "..." button does not offer the selection of multiple raster/vector maps in the g.region.multiple.* tools Descriptions ------------ * Most tools just show the "whole" manual as taken from GRASS * Most tools do just a single thing * I suggest to keep only single-definitions/sentences as descriptions for each tool Bug 1645 -------- Unclear to me. See my comments in trac. Maybe I don't understand the reported "wish".Title: Testing_*.region.*_qgis-grass_tools
Testing_*.region.*_qgis-grass_tools
Monday, June 22, 9:09 PM / Monday, June 22, 11:14 PM The *.region.* grass modules are:- g.region
- r.region
- v.in.region
- g.region.point # this is a script
- g.region.save
- g.region.zoom
- g.region.multiple.raster
- g.region.multiple.vector
- r.region.region
- r.region.raster
- r.region.vector
- r.region.edge
- r.region.alingTo
- v.in.region
- v.mkgrid.region
- *region.* QGIS-GRASS tools work
- their description is correct, and how it should eventually be changed
- the bug https://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/ticket/1645 is valid, or it should be closed
- g.region.save == g.region -s
- saved regions appear in the "Browser" tab after hitting the "Refresh" button
- using saved regions works by selecting them and hitting the "Set current region to selected map" button
- currently the whole g.region manual is shown in the "Manual" tab.
- description should be changed respectively, i.e.:
- remove all parameters and flags
- keep only one sentence-definition of what g.region.zoom does
- g.region.zoom == g.region zoom=...
- works
- to actually see the "change" it is required to hit twice the "Display Current Grass Region" button (grass toolbar), that is to deactivate and activate the red grass region box
- currently the whole g.region manual is shown in the "Manual" tab.
- description should be changed respectively, i.e.:
- remove all parameters and flags
- keep only one sentence-definition of what g.region.zoom does
- g.region.zoom == g.region rast=name[,name,...]
- works when typing raster map names manually
- map name(s) should follow after comma without spaces
- the "..." button does not offer the selection of multiple raster maps
- to actually see the "change" it is required to hit twice the "Display Current Grass Region" button (grass toolbar), that is to deactivate and activate the red grass region box
- currently the whole g.region manual is shown in the "Manual" tab.
- description should be changed respectively, i.e.:
- remove all flags and parameters
- keep only one sentence-definition of what g.region.zoom does
- g.region.zoom == g.region vect=name[,name,...]
- works when typing raster map names manually
- map name(s) should follow after comma without spaces
- the "..." button does not offer the selection of multiple vector maps
- to actually see the "change" it is required to hit twice the "Display Current Grass Region" button (grass toolbar), that is to deactivate and activate the red grass region box
- currently the whole g.region manual is shown in the "Manual" tab.
- description should be changed respectively, i.e.:
- remove all flags and parameters
- keep only one sentence-definition of what g.region.zoom does
- r.region.region == r.region -c OR r.region -d map=... region=...
- Not sure what is the role of "Use region of this map" button. It's supposed to be the map whose region will be altered!
- to actually see the "change" it is required to hit twice the "Display Current Grass Region" button (grass toolbar), that is to deactivate and activate the red grass region box
- currently the whole r.region manual is shown in the "Manual" tab.
- description should be changed respectively, i.e.:
- remove all parameters
- keep flags (options in QGIS?) description
- keep only one sentence-definition of what r.region.region does
- r.region.raster == r.region -c OR r.region -d map=... raster=...
- Not sure what is the role of "Use region of this map" button. It's supposed to be the map whose region will be altered!
- to actually see the "change" it is required to hit twice the "Display Current Grass Region" button (grass toolbar), that is to deactivate and activate the red grass region box
- currently the whole r.region manual is shown in the "Manual" tab
- description should be changed respectively, i.e.:
- remove all flags and parameters
- keep only one sentence-definition of what g.region.zoom does
- Wild guess: something to do with N-S resolution & E-W resolution
- r.region.region == r.region -c OR r.region -d map=...
- Not sure what is the role of "Use region of this map" button. It's supposed to be the map whose region will be altered!
- to actually see the "change" it is required to hit twice the "Display Current Grass Region" button (grass toolbar), that is to deactivate and activate the red grass region box
- currently the whole r.region manual is shown in the "Manual" tab.
- description should be changed respectively, i.e.:
- remove all flags and parameters
- keep only one sentence-definition of what g.region.zoom does
- EXCLUDE parameters "type", "cat" flags (not applicable here) ?
- most flags and parameters not applicable!
- currently the whole manual is shown in the "Manual" tab
- description should be changed respectively, i.e.:
- remove all flags and parameters
- keep only one sentence-definition of what g.region.zoom does
