Re: [GRASS-user] Multiple attribute tables in winGRASS 6.4

I'm using winGRASS 6.4 (r38875) on windows XP and using DBF files (oracle and ODBC is not currently supported in winGRASS). I'm able to connect an additional attribute table containing alternative names to a vector map. The cat columns in layer 1 and layer 2 are the same (numbers 1-25). e.g. v.db.connect map=locn layer=2 key=cat table=locn_tbl2 If I bring up the attribute window manager, I can see the new table is in layer 2. v.info reports that there are 2 db links. v.info -c map=locn layer=2 reports list of columns in layer 2 However, commands such as v.label, d.vect.thematic, d.vect, v.extract, etc are unable to access layer 2. Also, if using the windows which pop-up (instead of the command line) for any of these commands, you cannot change the layer option from 1 to 2 (or any other layer value). example output... v.label labels=alt_nme map=locn col=othnme layer=2 gives error...

Re: [GRASS-user] g.manual tries to run C:\Program Files\Internet Exporer\iexplore (the 'L' is missing from 'Explorer')
The variable's value should point to a browser's exe, not the index.html of the docs folder. Given that, more odd behaviour of g.manual re the variable. When running wingrass through an msys terminal (r37101) The following all worked export GRASS_HTML_BROWSER=c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe export GRASS_HTML_BROWSER=c:/Program\ Files/Internet\ Explorer/iexplore.exe export GRASS_HTML_BROWSER=/c/Program\ Files/Internet\ Explorer/iexplore.exe export GRASS_HTML_BROWSER=c:\Programs\Firefox\firefox.exe export GRASS_HTML_BROWSER=/c/Programs/Firefox/firefox.exe Except that it didn't release my terminal until iexplore.exe was closed. This was not true when firefox was used instead, the terminal was released without closing the program. (nb. on my system firefox is in a directory without spaces but this shouldn't be the problem). These failed: export GRASS_HTML_BROWSER=/c/Program Files/Internet Explorer/iexplore.exe export GRASS_HTML_BROWSER=c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe (no quotes) export GRASS_HTML_BROWSER=c:\Programs\Firefox\firefox.exe (c:ProgramsFirefoxfirefox.exe: command not found) export GRASS_HTML_BROWSER=file:///c/Program Files/Internet Explorer/iexplore.exe export GRASS_HTML_BROWSER=/c/Program\ Files/Internet\ Explorer/iexplore.exe export GRASS_HTML_BROWSER=c:/Program\ Files/Internet\ Explorer/iexplore.exe (c:/Program\ Files/Internet\ Explorer/iexplore.exe: No such file or directory) export GRASS_HTML_BROWSER=\c\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe (not surprisingly) This all seems very inconsistent, but in summary for msys: 1) URLs don't work 2) Regular windows paths are fine as long as they are in quotes 3) Unix paths are fine as long as they're not in quotes (unless there are no spaces, then its ok) and use backslash on spaces. However, for osgeo4w (non-msys) by putting the following in the etc/ini/grass.bat: This worked (though it didn't work above): set GRASS_HTML_BROWSER=/c/Program Files/Internet Explorer/iexplore.exe These did not work: set GRASS_HTML_BROWSER=c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe set GRASS_HTML_BROWSER=c:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\iexplore.exe set GRASS_HTML_BROWSER=c:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\iexplore.exe set GRASS_HTML_BROWSER=c:/Program\ Files/Internet\ Explorer/iexplore.exe set GRASS_HTML_BROWSER=/c/Program\ Files/Internet\ Explorer/iexplore.exe In sum, only a unix path with no quotes or space escapes will work. This path format does not work in msys. There is no path format that I found that works in both, clearly a problem. AFAICT, the right way to open files on Windows is to simply run them via the shell, e.g. pointing GRASS_HTML_BROWSER at a batch file containing: �...@echo off cmd /c %1 If you use cmd /k instead of cmd /c it should return the terminal without having to terminate the command. For opening URLs: �...@echo off rundll32 url.dll,OpenURL %1 This also appears to work with filenames, with both forward and backward slashes. However, it returns immediately, while cmd /c ... waits for the command to terminate. I put the above into a batch file and it worked with the URL format, unix and windows, but g.manual wouldn't run with this batch file with it set as the value for GRASS_HTML_BROWSER When the command terminates depends upon the command. For Notepad, it means exiting Notepad. Firefox returns once it has displayed the page if it uses an existing instance, but waits until you exit it if it has to start a new instance. Ahh this clears up the firefox exception above. However, when tested on iexplore, it opens a new instance instead of adding it as a tab and so won't return until that instance is closed. If we can confirm that the OpenURL approach works on most versions of Windows, we should use that for GRASS_HTML_BROWSER rather than iexplore.exe (particularly as init.bat currently uses a hard-coded pathname which will typically be wrong on non-English versions of Windows; hint: use %ProgramFiles% to get the Program Files directory). I agree with Glynn, this is definitely the way to go if it can be figured out since it would be better to use the user's preference, already set in windows, for opening URLs. It worked on Vista, but only by calling the batch file myself, not when it was set as the value of GRASS_HTML_BROWSER. Perhaps because the g.manual script looks for an exe specifically... -Colin ___ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user

Re: [GRASS-user] v.dissolve and r.cost problems
Furthermore, I launched r.cost on a 295 rows, 378 cols matrix, and it's taking 1h, whereas I did the same previously and it ran in tens of seconds. The speed of r.cost depends not just on the number of cells but also the complexity of the surface. Smoother surfaces seem to take longer than rough ones, I think because there are more possibilities for the algorithm to explore. However, if you're getting into the hours, I would think it's more likely that your region settings changed. Check g.region -p to be sure. Lastly, there seems to be a bug in r.cost that causes it to get confused on surfaces with lots of negative values (try running r.cost on a surface made by r.surf.fractal to see this). In these cases, I think it never finishes. -Colin ___ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user

Michael, I have just tried r.patch, v.patch and v.what.rast on the new grass-6.4.svn release in osgeo4w (built on XP I assume), and haven't had any problems with any of them.

I should have looked harder before I hit Send, I just found Marco's instructions on creating the standalone installer. http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/branches/develbranch_6/mswindows If modified to the osgeo4w tree, new native installers should be relatively easy to create.

Re: [GRASS-user] cost surface
Hi Ricardo, It is hard to tell what is going from without looking at your input file, but you do seem to using r.cost correctly. My guess would be that the differences between cells are not great enough to cause the cost surface to deviate from a linear trajectory. To test this, try using r.mapcalc to amplify the pattern on the r_vias surface, ie. r_vias_x100=r_vias*100 (100 might be too much), then re-run r.cost with the r_vias_x100 as the input. r.cost does take a relatively long time to run, especially on surfaces which are relatively smooth (I think that's true). The result should be relatively identical to arc's cost weighted function. -Colin On Wed, Mar 25, 2009 at 10:59 AM, Ricardo Almendra ricardoalmendr...@gmail.com wrote: Hello I'm trying to built a cost surface.
