Hi all, this seems to be a serious thing! wxGUI, ubuntu 10.04, GRASS 6.4.2RC2;
I created a new vector 'testing_vectors' for troubleshooting. obviously it was empty to start with. I chose 'digitize' from the listbox on top-right of map display window, then selected the vector from listbox that appears with digitizing tools. I proceeded to select 'area' tool, and draw an area. when I used the right-mouse click to finish/close the area, GRASS crashed (as in all windows shut down, disappeared, only the terminal that I used to start GRASS was still there, no messages or anything in it). I restarted GRASS, opened the workspace, same steps above to digitize the vector again. after selecting it, I got a "Topology missing" dialog that stated: ........ Topology for vector map <testing_vectors> is not available. Topology is required by digitizer. Do you want to rebuild topology (takes some time) and open the vector map for editing? ..... I clicked yes, and it seemed to go OK, let me continue to digitize and it showed the vector i'd digitized prior to the crash. BUT IT WAS ONLY A BOUNDARY, NO CENTROID. I chose the 'area' tool again, and same result (crash on completion; rebuild topology on opening it again). AGAIN, SECOND 'AREA' TURNED OUT TO BE BOUNDARY, NO CENTROID. In the same vector, I could draw a boundary and complete it with no crash. I could add centroids to the boundary I drew, and to the previous boundaries that were the result of the crashed 'area' tool. So is there something wrong with the area tool in the process of it adding a centroid? I did not change any of the digitising settings, they were all at default I believe. (The 'add new record to table' was unchecked, maybe I had changed that option?) ??? -shane. _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
