[GRASS-user] v.info vs. r.info: different region output format

[Sebastian Holler]

Hi list,
I've tried to create bounding boxes for all layers of a given location 
with an extern python script.
This script parses the output from v.info -g layer resp. r.info -g 
layer.


But I noticed, that in a location with a geographic crs, the region 
outputs (esp. the unit formats) of vector and raster layers differs from 
each other.
v.info prints the region in decimal degrees (DD) whereas r.info produces 
an output in degrees,minutes,seconds (DMS).


For example (nc_ll location from www.grassbooks.org; EPSG:4001):

  v.info -g precip_30ynormals
 north=36.49917
 south=33.99472
 east=-75.62194
 west=-84.02389
 top=1615.44
 bottom=2.438400

  r.info -g elev_ned_03arcsec
 north=35:54:40.66N
 south=35:35:17.334885N
 east=78:27:08.335106W
 west=78:49:17.33W

Is there any reason for the different outputs or is this a bug?

For parsing both ouputs with external tools, it would be better if the 
formats were equal.

Sebastian H.

Not a bug but a bad feature. Although the curent behaviour is not
good, I'm affraid it cannot be changed during GRASS 6 devel line not to
brake software that might depend on it. Please fill a defect report in
Trac and the issue maybe will be fixed in GRASS 7.
