#1031: More specific parameter information in command line help --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: huhabla | Owner: [email protected] Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: 7.0.0 Component: libgis | Version: svn-trunk Resolution: | Keywords: parser, help Platform: All | Cpu: All --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Comment (by huhabla):
I am aware that some of informations i requests are given by the usage string. But IMHO it is more convenient and easier to understand (especially for command line beginner) to make these informations also available in the help description. My enhancement request is only related to the command line. It does not touch the automated gui generation. The usage string does not always provide the convenient information if the parameter is of type raster, vector, volume, integer or float. In many modules input and output parameter are named related to the modules purpose, the information if its an input or output is only present if you read the help page. Martin Landa currently renamed in several modules the input and output parameter to make clear which of them are inputs or outputs. I.e: elevation -> elevation_input, direction -> direction_output, but this is IMHO not a good idea. It is redundant information, especially if you are using the gui. In my opinion there is no need to rename the parameters, we can provide the information which the gui uses to make the data handling easy in the command line too. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/1031#comment:2> GRASS GIS <http://grass.osgeo.org>
