DESCRIPTION¶

This program allows user to start a selected graphical user interface (GUI) from the command line prompt. Currently three different GUIs are supported: If the -u update flag is given or the g.gisenv GRASS_GUI variable is missing, then the GRASS_GUI variable is permanently changed and the selected GUI will be used as the default UI from then on.

NOTES¶

Valid values for GRASS_GUI are text, tcltk, oldtcltk, and wxpython. g.gisenv variables are stored in the user's home directory in a hidden file called ".grassrc6". They are not shell environment variables and the "rc" file is not a classic UNIX run command file, it just contains persistent GRASS variables and is not executed.

EXAMPLE¶

Set the command line to be the default UI: g.gui text
