#323: Consistency in adjectives used for GRASS' "geographic region" --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: nikos | Owner: [email protected] Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: 6.4.0 Component: Docs | Version: unspecified Resolution: | Keywords: Platform: All | Cpu: Unspecified --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Comment (by hamish):
see also #320, as they are both about the semantics and interpretation of the "region" term. I doubt we can ever make everyone happy with one term for complex ideas, but we can focus on explaining well in the documentation about what we mean by each version and then being consistent with it. wrt this ticket, the g.region module is concerned with the mapset's WINDow file. This is the current working region & resolution settings which processing modules will use. This long predates any GUI version. For non-GUI use only this region matters. "Computational region" is used by the GUI to distinguish the above region from the display/rendering region in the map display window. Perhaps the GUI should not use the term "region" at all unless it is referring to the computational one? Perhaps it should talk about "zoom" instead?
