Re: [GRASS-dev] why doesn't g.region launch gui?
I just compiled 6.4.3 svn again and tested g.region. Results below.

Re: [GRASS-dev] why doesn't g.region launch gui?
Hello Michael, in GRASS 7 it's not a bug, it's a feature! [1] If it's happening also in 6.4, then it's a result of backporting and should be treated as a serious regression and thus should be fixed ASAP.

Other commands typed from the terminal (followed by return with no arguments) launch their GUIs. This is happening in GRASS 7 and GRASS 6.4.2 (and I suppose all versions in between). g.region doesn't have any required options. In 7.0, the GUI is shown if no arguments are given and at least one option is required. In 6.x, the GUI is shown if no arguments are given. Modules which can reasonably be run without arguments (e.g. d.erase, g.gisenv) skip calling G_parser() if no arguments are given, with e.g.: if (argc 1 G_parser(argc, argv)) exit(1); As g.region doesn't do this, I have no idea why it isn't showing the GUI when run without arguments (unless you're accidentally running the 7.0 version for some reason). In general, skipping G_parser() is unsatisfactory, as certain other initialisation steps are performed by G_parser (e.g. checking GRASS_OVERWRITE, parsing opt-options into opt-opts[], etc). And always showing the GUI when no options are given is unsatisfactory for modules which can reasonably be run without arguments. The main downside of the current 7.0 behaviour is where it isn't reasonable to run a module without arguments, but no specific option is required. But that will cease to be an issue if we ever get around to deciding how to extend the concept of required options to handle the one-from-many cases. -- Glynn Clements gl...@gclements.plus.com ___ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
