#632: Thematic Maps -----------------------+---------------------------------------------------- Reporter: voncasec | Owner: [email protected] Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 6.4.0 Component: wxGUI | Version: 6.4.0 RCs Resolution: | Keywords: d.vect.thematic Platform: Linux | Cpu: Unspecified -----------------------+---------------------------------------------------- Comment (by cmbarton):
I looked at FloatCanvas quite a while ago. It is nice, but it is much simpler that we need for GRASS. The GRASS canvas does what FloatCanvas does, but a lot more. d.vect.thematic was written (by me and enhanced by others) as a shell script wrapper around d.vect. When it was written, all GRASS displays still used d.mon via an xterm. It still works in the display environment of TclTk and wxPython canvases, but not as well. We could add the newer module d.thematic.area to the layer tree selections. I've done that for GRASS 7. I don't know if that would be permitted for GRASS 6.4 as it is sort of a feature change (though it shouldn't break anything). We could also enhance d.vect.thematic by 'Pythonizing' it. Glynn has done that for GRASS 7, but I haven't yet had the chance to test it. Ultimately, we are aware that we need to create a new and improved Python script or an extended C module. As of a few days ago, I think that the C module seems to be the direction we are headed. Any help would be appreciated.
