'''Update 00:50, 9 August 2006 (CEST) '''New version will run directly from GRASS prompt with new startup script. Now put gism.py and associated files into $GISBASE/etc/gmwxp and add a new script (gm.wxp) to the $GISBASE/scripts folder.

'''Update 19:02, 7 August 2006 (CEST)'''I just uploaded a new version of gism.py and related files. I'll keep an archive and so am changing the link to go to the folder rather than the file itself so I won't have to keep changing the link. This update includes the following changes:
== Tcl/Tk GUI ==
*The biggest change in wrapping in grassgui.py. This provides autogenerated wxPython GUI dialogs for all grass commands.
This can now be called from the command console (just type in the command name with no arguments as you do now) or the
prototype menus. I updated grassgui.py to current wxPython syntax (mostly) and added methods to make it callable from
other modules.
*Methods added to gism.py and grassgui.py that automatically restart them with pythonw for the Mac

Initial development has begun on the next generation UI for GRASS. wxPython is the leading contender for a platform in which to continue development of the GRASS GUI. wxPython is a Python implementation of the well known wxWidgets (formerly wxWindows) interface development platform for C++. An initial demonstration was developed by Jachym Cepicky to show the possibility of controling GRASS via wxPython. A second generation prototype has been completed, building on Jachym's work. It is available for testing and further development at link above.
This was the old, now unsupported GUI.
