I've looked through it and it is quite well done. Could we add it to the grass-addons repository? a couple of minor notes- * consider moving the temp file creation until after all the parsing checks are done, so that they are only generated when we know the module is going to run and empty files are not left behind. * always "quote" filename $VARIABLES, or else the script will break on MS Windows where path names commonly have spaces in them. * did you try the geology/strike* symbols before making your own? http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/IconSymbols#New were they deficient for some reason? (too long bases for the task, or ..?) [no problem, just like feedback if they could be better] * consider advertising it in the geology + atmospheric science field of study sections in the GRASS wiki: http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/Applications * besides left,right, consider a "both" side of line option. > It would be great if it could be useful to someone, for > example, for geologists like me :) the problem of line styles is still not completely solved, hopefully we can do something with that in grass7, but this has been a missing functionality for a long time- so thanks! Hamish ps- I just noticed the collection of new symbols by Martin Povolny. lots of them, great. :) http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/IconSymbols#More_simple_symbols _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
