Description

hi, i'm tring to add some grass command to qgis-grass plug-in module,
but i've some problem :

for a long module such as r.sun >>


<!DOCTYPE qgisgrassmodule SYSTEM "http://mrcc.com/qgisgrassmodule.dtd">

<qgisgrassmodule label="display composite map from his image "
module="r.sun">

&lt;flag key="s" /&gt;
&lt;option key="elevin" /&gt;
&lt;option key="aspin" /&gt;
&lt;option key="slopein" /&gt;
&lt;option key="linkein" /&gt;
&lt;option key="lin" /&gt;
&lt;option key="albedo" /&gt;
&lt;option key="alb" /&gt;
&lt;option key="latin" /&gt;
&lt;option key="lat" /&gt;
&lt;option key="coefdh" /&gt;
&lt;option key="incidout" /&gt;
&lt;option key="beam_rad" /&gt;
&lt;option key="insol_time" /&gt;
&lt;option key="diff_rad" /&gt;
&lt;option key="day" /&gt;
&lt;option key="step" /&gt;
&lt;option key="declin" /&gt;
&lt;option key="time" /&gt;

#1 Updated by Martin Dobias almost 18 years ago

Modules were designed to contain only few settings. Many options make the module harder to use.

I'm changing this to an enhancement for next version.

Hi,

in GRASS 6.1.0 and newer there is an optional "guisection" tag for each module option/flag. These are used in the GRASS GUIs to group similar options into tabs.

Maybe it helps.. how does QGIS get the module info? XML $module --interface-description? That doesn't seem to be outputting that tag. If so, and you think "guisection" would be useful, let us know and we can fix that in GRASS cvs.

  • Status changed from Open to In Progress

Ok I will place each tool in a scroll area when its opened (to address the vertical oversize issue). For the 'oh my god why are there so many tabs my window is too wide now' issue, I propose to either do :

  • each tool in its own window (quick and easy, may do that to start)
  • have an 'active tools' tab which lists just the ones you have opened and lets you switch between them

With second option above you would have max 4 tabs only:

Modules Tree Modules List Open Modules Current Module

I will experiment a bit and get back to you on this.

  • Status changed from In Progress to Closed
  • Resolution set to fixed

fixed in QGIS 1.0 preview1 (maybe in previous versions, not tested). Long options lists have now a scrollbar and each tool has its own window.
