AFAIR g.region was the original, using -g to display region bounds in shell script style. later "-g" was added to r.info and v.info to do the same, and later again "-g" was added to other modules like r.univar as generic shell script style alias -- not the other way around! These were mostly added by MarkusN and myself over the years, although I am very sure there were others involved too. r.info -g, v.info -g, g.region -g all show the region in shell script style and all act the same. it's a good thing and makes learning the tools easier. IMO it would be a disservice to morph -g into a shell style dump of all internal variables. it clutters your working environment. 2c from fuzzy memories of years ago, Hamish _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
