Hi all,

Today I've just realize that the parameter of g.region are defined as string:

Why should we not use TYPE_DOUBLE for these parameters (n,s,e,w,)? Is
it to not loose significant digits?

It needs to be a string, so that you can use
common lat/lon notations in the format "°dd'mm''ss".

Sorry if this has already been discussed, but I was not able to find
any reference in the mailing-list's archive.

Best regards
