Toolboxes: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 04:43, 13 November 2020

Note that this page is outdated since recently (Apr 2013) new toolboxes for GRASS wxGUI were introduced. See Trac wiki for development issues.

The old content of this page was moved to the Trac wiki. The only things which remains here are the tables which are almost empty, not completed or copied to trac anyway. The only useful tables are those about toolboxes in addons.

List of toolboxes

Toolbox name	Toolbox code	Description	Correlate toolbox

-=== New toolbox approach discussed at the GRASS Community Code Sprint 2012 ===
-At the [[GRASS Community Sprint Prague 2012|community sprint in Prague 2012]] the toolbox approach with different repositories as well as the approach using "--with-toolbox/--without-toolbox" configure statements at compile time have been discussed. The major drawback of these solutions is the their complexity and the problem of cross dependencies between modules.
-A new approach has been suggested using XML files to describe toolboxes and special directory structure to hide unneeded modules from the user.
-The idea is to have a binary directory containing only modules that are listed in a XML file that defines what core modules should be available and what toolboxes should be used. The XML file will be used by the GUI to create menu listings for the selected modules. All modules that are deactivated in the XML file will be held in a directory that is not available in the users binary path, but in the binary search path of modules. Hence unneeded modules are invisible at the command line and in the GUI, but still available for modules that might call other modules.
-New toolboxes and core modules can be simply added to the search path and the GUI by editing the XML definition and calling g.extension. The module g.extension will simply links/copy the hidden modules into the binary directory that is visible by the user or move deselected modules in the hidden directory. The GUI will always analyzes the XML toolbox configuration file for menu generation.
-The configuration XML file will include a list of core modules for general, raster, image, voxel and vector processing as well as the definition of toolboxes. Toolboxes are defined by their type (raster, vector, ...) a short description and a list of modules. Modules can be defined in several different toolboxes.
-The GRASS development team should provide several pre-defined XML toolbox configuration files as for hydrological modeling, vector processing, terrain modeling, image analysis, ..., and WPS server.
-Using this approach the repository structure must not be changed. The build system has to be modified to use the XML toolbox file to decide where to copy the binary modules and scripts. {{cmd|g.extension|version=70}} has to be extended to link/copy selected modules in the users binary search path and to remove modules from them. GRASS will be build as usual.
-=== Original approach ===
-* See [http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-dev/2010-April/050210.html original post by Jarosław Jasiewicz]
-* Discussion about the suitability of the proposed change on the [[Talk:GRASS_repository_layout_proposal|talk]] side of this wiki page; discussion of the possible method on this side of the page.
-<pre>
-Hi all!
-That rather radical ideas I present here are rather for future, at least for GRASS 8,
-but I'd like present it now for long-term reflection.
-Probably all notice that for over two years there is big increase in add-on repository
-(including me). There are modules of different quality: from fully GRASS toolsets,
-to shell or python scripts, from  actively developed tools to abandoned,
-from all-purpose tools to very specialized etc. I also think that that activity
-will be grown due to substitute shell script by python
-Similar situation is in main GRASS branch: there are modules for all like conversion tools,
-interpolation methods, georeferencing etc, and very specialized modules for very limited
-group of users (like wild fire), there are also some modules out of date.
-I'm not enthusiastic about moving new modules into main branch. Almost every module has
-different coding style and it will lasting in future that GRASS would be difficult to maintain.
-On the other hand some people complains that some interesting modules are only available as
-add-ons (I assume for some reasons they cannot install it)
-So my suggestion is to rearrange future GRASS form two layers (main branch/add-on) into
-three layers architecture:
-) GRASS core layer: much limited limited than now, only GIS environment and basic,
-all-puropse tools, slow changes, great stability
-) GRASS toolset layer: oficcial GRASS thematic tools and toolsets (like terrain analysis,
-hydrological analysis, photo-interpretation, landscape analysis etc,) every toolset with its
-maintainer, rapid development, new ready to use tools after quality control may appear here,
-also some of current main branch tool shall be moved to that layer
-) GRASS community layer:  everything else like experimental, actively development new tools,
-that what do not pass quality control, simple scripts, etc....
-What benefits:
-for developers and contributors: much clear situation and better publication path.
-Toolset layer should be much more open for new tools than current GRASS main branch
-for users: faster access to new tools.
-There is no doubt that new tools are faster developed (less risk) than GRASS core
-Binaries with toolsets could be maintained as separate apt/urpmi/pacman/yum/exe etc packages,
-so it may appear in linux repository separetly form GRASS core.
-There is only loose ideas. Most of them are of course taken from R (core/toolsets/rest of packages;
-separate core and package development) but I think it is worth of some discuss ...

-== How to implement ==
-=== Proposal 1 ===
-* add html tag <param> in the description.html with these options:
- <param name = "core"> for core module
- <param name = "tool" value="tool_code/codes"> for toolbox
- <param name = "addons" [value="tool_code/codes"]> for addons, value is optional
-* create a script to generate a xml file for each toolbox
-* add toolbox option in g.extension to read the xml and install the modules
-=== Proposal 2 ===
-* modules (currently only [[Addons]]) are described (name, description, keywords, files) in metadata XML file called [http://grass.osgeo.org/addons/grass7/modules.xml modules.xml] - this file is auto-generated, see [http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/AddOnsManagement#AddOnsXMLfile trac page] for details
-* similarly toolboxes are described (name, code, correlate modules, list of modules) in [http://grass.osgeo.org/addons/grass7/toolboxes.xml toolboxes.xml] - this file is manually manageable via [https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass-addons/grass7/toolboxes.xml SVN]
-{{cmd|g.extension|version=70}} reads (from remote server http://grass.osgeo.org/addons/grass7) <tt>modules.xml</tt> when listing available modules (<tt>-l</tt>), and <tt>toolboxes.xml</tt> when listing available toolboxes (<tt>-lt</tt>). When installing toolbox using {{cmd|g.extension|version=70}} the module reads <tt>toolboxes.xml</tt> and installs in the loop given list of modules. When all modules are installed it also updates local metadata files - <tt>GRASS_ADDON_BASE/modules.xml</tt> and <tt>GRASS_ADDON_BASE/toolboxes.xml</tt>. These local metadata files are checked when listing locally installed toolboxes or single modules (<tt>-a</tt> or <tt>-ta</tt>).
-=== Proposal 3 ===
-Use a modified version of [http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip pip] (a tool for installing and managing Python packages)
-With Pip you can add/change repository, compile C/Fortran module, manage dependencies, install from some version control system (use
-URLs like hg+http://domain/repo -- or prefix git+, svn+ etc), and using [http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv virtualenv]
