[GRASS-user] v.digit options in 6.4.2RC1
Hi all, the wxGUI v.digit seems nice! a few things different to tcltk digitiser to get used to but overall seems to have more versatility. I have noticed that if I go to vector menu in main window, the option there is for editing a vector with tcltk. To use the wx option, one has to either right-click > "start editing" on a vector in the layer manager, or in map viewer, choose 'digitise' from listbox in top-right corner. If I use the former option, then the vector highlighted in layer manager is opened for editing. If I choose the latter, no layer is chosen by default, not even if one is highlighted in layer manager, I have to select which one I want to edit from a listbox on left side. At first these three different ways to get to v.digit seemed a bit messy/unprofessional, but after using it a bit more, I can see some benefits in current layout... but thought I'd comment in case the various ways to get there weren't actually intentional?

Hi, 2011/10/20 Shane Litherland : > At first these three different ways to get to v.digit seemed a bit there is only one way how to start v.digit (Tcl/Tk, from the menu) and three ways how to reach wxGUI vector digitizer (which is not called v.digit to avoid mess). > messy/unprofessional, but after using it a bit more, I can see some > benefits in current layout... but thought I'd comment in case the > various ways to get there weren't actually intentional? More ways how to reach a goal seems to you as "messy/unprofessional"? BTW, you can also click on icon in the toolbar.

No, no! :-) just that _initially_, given their variations in getting there, i felt that.. or maybe more accurate adjective would have been confusing, thinking from angle of newcomers being bamboozled by finding too many ways to get something done... sometimes people like just one option, keep it simple, don't scare them ;-) Mind you, such people probably would never agree which 'one' avenue was 'the one'. But I'm all good with the options, now that I've given them a bit more exercise. Thanks for clarifying v.digit vs wxGUI too :-) -shane. > BTW, you can also click on icon in the toolbar. > > Martin > ___ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
