DESCRIPTION
This program allows user to start a selected graphical user interface (GUI)
from the command line prompt.
GRASS 7 has a new GUI based on wxWidgets, written in Python:
- wxpython - New wxPython based GUI aka
wxGUI
The old gis.m and d.m Tcl/Tk GUIs from GRASS 6 have been removed.
If the -u update flag is given or the g.gisenv
GUI variable is missing, then the GUI variable is
permanently changed and the selected GUI will be used as the default
UI from then on.
NOTES
Valid values for GUI variable are text and wxpython.
g.gisenv variables are stored in the user's home directory in
a hidden file called ".grass7/rc". 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:
